The handling of the Big Sur fire

Sheriff loses at least one vote from Big Sur in aftermath of fire evacuations

It's refreshing that a former long-time police office would take on the sheriff, so Ken Wright's attack of Sheriff Kanalakis's handing of the Big Sur evacuation is worth reading. Wright was the CHP officer responsible for patrolling Big Sur for many of his 23 years on the force. He lives in Big Sur, and is a board member of the Monterey Jazz Festival. http://thecalifornian.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080712/OPINION/807120331/1014
