minus-squareeffwardlinkfedilink4•1 year agoGenerally, I agree, but this article is weird… It sounds like the Mayor tried to force the officer (who is the only officer in this city) to enforce an over-zealous speeding rule. And the implication is he didn’t want to, so the mayor put him on leave. Am I reading that right?
minus-squareDoug HollandOPlinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoYou’re reading it same as I read it. Sounds like the mayor wants a permanent speed trap, and the ‘chief’ (chief of himself?) doesn’t. When nobody will answer questions, though, all we can do is surmise, and it might be something else entirely. Small town America gets kooky sometimes.
