Portantino's Name-Change Plan Would Cost State $150,000

A measure by Assemblymember Anthony Portantino, who represents part of Monrovia, to change the name of the state "Department of Fish and Game" to "Department of Fish and Wildlife" will cost the state $150,000. http://goo.gl/H1JVN

Opinion: I don't really care about the name change, but I think it is irresponsible for the state to spend ANY more money on non-critical expenses until the state's finances are in order, which they absolutely are not, and this is about as non-critical as I can imagine. Trivial is more like it. I like Portantino, but shame on him for this. He should at least amend his proposal to implement it only when the state is in the black.
