Since we are on the subject of cronyism, did the report also comment on Jerry Brown's lame duck WCAB appointments?

Gov Brown appointed Christine Baker to the DIR. Christine Baker had so many of her tentacles messing with so many lives over the space of years that Gov Brown must have known about some or all of it. Then the Auditor's Confidential Report came out in May 2018 and Gov Brown had all the evidence, but he did nothing. In January 2019, right before he left office, Brown appointed her to another job, as the Fox guarding the hen house, where she is to this day. This sounds a lot like Gov Schwarzenegger appointing Andrea Hoch to do his dirty work in 2004. When she was done crushing injured workers under her boot heel, Gov Schwarzenegger appointed Hoch to another Government job while he waited for a space to open up at the Third DCA, where he appointed Hoch as a Justice and she is there to this day.
