In Hampton, Florida, revenue collected from unsuspecting motorists over the years was used to purchased cigarettes, beer, and even combat gear for city officials. Also, the mayor's recent arrest for allegedly attempting to sell an oxycodone pill to an undercover officer.
The town has a population of only 500,so how could the mayor not know his own police department, who is responsible to him? Are we sure this isn't embattled mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford?
Combat gear? Are you kidding me? Are they really concerned that an attack was imminent? And by whom, the federal government? Seriously? Something tells me that they thought they could do what ever they wanted because they were so far under the radar. Who would notice?
Who noticed? The feds. I guess their worst nightmare came true. After a audit was conducted, there were so many discrepancies that they have to shut it down. I love don't know what's in store for this little town, but I suspect it will be going away.
In our state, Utah, we have issues that are just insane. We have what is called "The Iron Curtin, which is a law that any Restaraunt who sells alcohol music pour the beer or whatever behind a barrier so that children can't see it being poured.
The thought is that if children see a drink poured, they are more CCM likely to become alcoholics. How crazy is that? The parents can be served at the table, but just can't see it poured. Really? The iron curtain is going to stop teenage from trying beer?
