From the heart of Aptos, CA: No budget crises here! State employee on duty doing nothing as nobody there.

No budget crises apparent here! Today, 5-28-09, its a Thursday afternoon about 2:15. The Rio del Mar beach is largely empty. The parking lot is empty. Yet there sits a a State employee in her cubicle waiting to collect fees from potential visitors. She has nothing to do and nowhere to go. But she is paid taxpayer money to sit. And wait.

What she could do that would be useful is TAKE A SHOVEL and FREE THE BEACH. The water from the creek is AGAIN backed up.
