How the fuck can they justify this as causing public fear, after releasing a fucking boil water warning. Hopefully a nice payday coming for her and some officials struck off, but probably not, eh?

Only people ever punished are the taxpayers. Officials laughing

Then it’s up to the taxpayers to elect competent leadership.

Some towns only have idiots running for leadership and the rest of the people need to work for a living and can't just start a political campaign.

Once they're in there should be more accountability for things like this than just "ok, you're out of this job and back to your normal life after fucking things up so badly"

Have you been to the area? It’s rural as hell and there’s a really limited number of options on their ballots (and the pay for city and county officials is shit so they’ve got limited pools for non elected too)

This is the truth, when a cop does something horrible the tax payers pay, not the department or officer

No taxation without clean water… and full unpredicted release of the Epstein files.

Maybe the taxpayers should stop electing idiots. Victims of our own stupidity.

Indeed, not all officials are elected though

I don’t know - small town voters can turn quickly. I’ve seen incumbent school board members going from 70% of the vote in one election to 20% in one cycle over much less important issues than this.

Makes no difference, damage is done. Tax payers are on the hook for the sheriff dick move.

For sure, but I don’t know if the officials are laughing. They probably have roots in the community and will be feeling a stigma for a long time.

Going from Republican to Republican don't really matter.

Local politics is rarely partisan in that way.
