ReplyDeleteAs always, well said and well written.
Government officials need to start taking accountability! They are held at a higher standard than your typical layman. Government officials need to have harsher penalties for violating the publics trust.
My bogus petition from DCFS has AG John Swallow's name and signature on it! I'm furious.
Yes! We need to hold officials accountable to the highest standards or moral and legal conduct! And I believe adding strength to the laws and reaffirming the law is crucial for officials found to be guilty of corruption!
