This is my hometown and unfortunately this is just the most recent escalation. Mayor Mayfield and most conservatives in the area have it out for the Record and have been causing all sorts of chaos at City Council meetings.
This isn’t the only scandal the Record was investigating either. The director of the hospital quit amidst a brewing scandal from over billing the local pharmacy while trying to open a competing pharmacy through family. Of course it’s all mixed up with local politics. People don’t like journalists asking difficult questions and don’t think the rules apply to them.
Is there a link where we can support the local paper’s legal fund?
Disband the entire police force and disbar the judge who signed off on the warrant.
I’m really curious about the judge who signed off the warrant. Was it conscious or a rubber stamp?
The line between the two is blurrier than you might think in small towns.
It sounds like a case for the FBI to get involved and then the whole county government ends up in prison.
