CA Green says: I’m no fox. Let me watch the hen house
Posted in State Party News on April 21st, 2010 by Gregg Jocoy – Comments OffA story at Newsblaze explains that California Green Party co-founder Hank Chapot has offered his services to the Golden State as a member of the Fair Political Practices Commission. Governor Schwarzenegger. A retirement on the commission has left the governor with an appointment to make, and he cannot appoint a Democrat. Chapot says that his being a Green gives him a special ability to serve that another corporate party leader won’t have.
“Everyone knows our politicians are bought and paid for…the FPPC hasn’t done a thing to stop that. It’s become worse. It’s like the fox guarding the hen house,” said Chapot.
“I will not carry the baggage of an appointee from one of the major parties that have made a mockery of fair elections in California. I will not continue the sham of pretending to fairly regulate the election process,” Chapot added.
Chapot is a gardener at the University of California at Berkley, and holds a Bachelor in Biology from San Francisco State University. He lives in Oakland.
