I don’t want to just cry with like-minded people over spilled milk. I want things fixed.
The Commissioners, or County Judge Phil Fitzgerald, or both of them have misappropriated tax money in their past budgets. It’s clear when you hear the county budget has doubled the thing in four years. To be specific when you hear the same man objecting to hiring a court reporter is the one who gets a quarter of a million dollars every four years to fix potholes a few weeks before elections, what else do you need to know?
I also read that the same District Attorney declining to prosecute some of the most high profile troubling cases of official misconduct we have had in my forty six years of living is the same District Attorney who has had his budget doubled and who has an entirely different budget that is secret and totally unaccounted for. What does he need all of that money for if he is going to pass on cases that interest the public most? Is he using public money as a war chest to use against his enemies? Or is he refusing these cases because he is saving up a treasure chests for himself?
It is time for Republicans to step up to the plate. We have complained long enough. Fix this mess!

I like that readers are collecting facts and they get the picture. But why aren't people in the courthouse doing something about all of this? Voters should expect them to represent us in between elections.
I agree that those closest to the crimes and misappropriations should do what Judge Cain did. That may not be his job as a judge but it is his job as a good citizen. Public officials who turn a blind eye need to be sent home next election.
FOR TOO LONG THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS SHIRKED THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AS OFFICERS OF THE COURT AND BECOME THE PROTECTOR OF WAYWARD PUBLIC OFFICIALS. THEY WORK FOR US NOT THE COMMISSIONERS OR THE DA!
The next election is closer than you think,so be thinking about who needs to go when you go to vote.
Those elected officials that go along to get along and that see a problem and do nothing about the problem soon become THE PROBLEM. (HAWK) 2011
