the sad truth in this story is that the former top boss hired Stebbins and did the right thing.... then former top boss gets fired due to the the CA wildfires fiasco.... which very likely accrued for a long time, well before the former top boss' got the job. So now the hero, has no protection from the top, and new bureaucrat goes in for the kill. Now the person that hired the hero, and the hero herself.... are out, for trying to make things better. The good guys get grinded out of the system , by the system itself
