WHEN IS BREAKING THE LAW NOT BREAKING THE LAW?

This morning's question is how can at least $15 million dollars be missing from the school budget and there not be a prosecution of a crime committed somewhere. There is the argument that well no one knew about it until 2014. That might be true but I have always heard that IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE.

'OFFICER I DIDN'T SEE THAT SIGN POSTED '25 mph IN A SCHOOL ONE" SO  I THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY TO GO 60. YOU UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU?"

Think you'll still get a ticket?

Then there is the attempt to TRIVIALIZE the crime. "IT'S ALL BECAUSE WE DIDN'T CHECK SOME BOX 25 YEARS AGO."

"WELL HE PROBABLY FORGOT TO CHECK THE ORGAN DONOR BOX ON HIS LICENSE SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT KIDNEY ANYWAY!"

The city just spent untold (at least not to me) thousands of dollars on a lawsuit that they actually won that proved that the former mayor raised his salary the wrong way. Instead of recouping any of that money to put back into city coffers which would have involved past and even some current councilmen some sort of forgiveness plan was worked out to justify all of that mess and the MAYOR'S salary was raised the right way if you don't count that one violation of the charter to a point higher than it was when it was raised wrong.

Of course to all of this you'll hear, "IT'S NOT CRIMES, IT'S JUST POLITICS!"

But like they say on TV, "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!"
