Rationale given for cutting Task Force seems questionable
Editor:
Events this past week in Orleans County can best be described as “Political Shenanigans.”
Specifically, on Tuesday a member of the Orleans County Major Felony Crimes Task Force announced his candidacy for Sheriff in next year’s election. Two days later his job at the DA’s Office is eliminated.
In fact the entire Task Force was disbanded. Of course the timing is suspect. Coincidence? Not Likely! Cost savings measure? I was born at night, but it wasn’t last night!
If my Dad was still above ground, he would say, “You People Are About As Subtle As A Train Wreck”!
I wish I could say I’m surprised by all this. Sadly, I am not.
