CA State Parks Director Resigns Amid Controversy

California State Parks Director Ruth Coleman has resigned and her second in command has been fired after officials learned the department has been sitting on nearly $54 million in surplus money for as long as 12 years. This comes just days after media reports surfaced about the state parks deputy director who carried out a secret vacation buyout program for employees at department headquarters last year. That buyout cost the state more than $271,000.
