24 hours is a little different than four days.

No different than if the man had taken his wife to NYC for dinner one day, he doesnt have to let everyone know where he's at.. The only thing mysterious about this is that he didnt tell his wife his location but there is a chain of command for all "professional jobs" for that very reason.

If you cant reach #1 in charge, you go to #2, just because #2 doesnt know where #1 is, doesnt mean they cant make a decision without checking in first.
good point.

"Huffington Post reports this morning that the trail the governor is hiking along is actually one of the beneficiaries of the stimulus funding. The Appalachian Trail will receive $650 thousand for a spruce up."

Lol, you and the other poster surmise, and then make your conclusion based on your own surmise.

Like I said, the governor has no authority over this, as was proven in state court. The Californian blog entry you posted confirms this.

He also has no authority over the state budget.
