Found this post from a aircraft repairs industry worker in CA. There must have been a better way to spend the stimulus funds, so situations like this could have been avoided.
And with all the bailouts, you'd think some $ might be better spent on a State in financial trouble.

I work in the aircraft repair/parts industry in California and thought I'd let you onto something. Many vendors to the CDF (California division of forestry) air operations have outstanding bills going back to last year. My company just put all California agencies on cash or credit card only. Many others are refusing to sell to the CDF because of huge amount of unpaid and late bills. We don't even get Registered Warrants!
Mish, this is scary. I know of one company that is doing repairs knowing they won't get paid just because they do not want to see fire fighting aircraft grounded!
Vendors must be given payment priority if the state wants to have any police and fire protection! Meanwhile the state is still purchasing new cars! Go figure.
Don't put my name on this please. Thank you for your good work.
