You really think every CEO publishes the metrics to all their decision making?
Or are you thinking there is no basis and decisions are just made on a whim?
There is actually an entire higher level of thinking going on at successful companies.
Nice try my California homey. This has nothing to do with metrics, decision making or the basis of how CEO makes choices. It is all about Newsom thinking he is above the law.
Last time I checked, Newsom is subject to California Public Records Act but his reason for withholding was "because it is complicated and might mislead the public" (not permissible exemptions under the CPRA). Imagine that, a governor calling his people stupid (unable to understand complicated things) and that his citizens can be easily mislead.
CPRA according to the liberally biased Wikipedia.org:
Moreover, unless the public records of a local agency are exempt from the provisions of the CPRA, they must be made available for public inspection.[9] Exemptions must be narrowly construed and the public agency bears the burden of proving that an exemption applies.[10]
Most of the exemptions under the CPRA are set forth under Section 6254 and are specific as to certain records or types of records, but under Section 6255 a general exemption exists where, on the facts of the particular case, "the public interest served by not making the record public clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record".[11] In reviewing the propriety of an agency decision to withhold records, a court is charged with ascertaining whether nondisclosure was justified under either of these statutes.[12] So why did Newsom finally do the right thing and release it? Cuz his posse told him he was wrong (NOT above the law). "The release of the data points came after coronavirus experts, joined by a public access organization and a business group, said the information should be public..."
Or simply, these four words: He got caught cheating.
Don't think we need to discuss his secret no bid deal of buying Chinese masks, which was outside normal procurement process.
Oh what tangled webs we weave, when we first practice to deceive...
