To the victor the spoils.
As long as prosecutors, judges and other functional employees of our local, state and federal goobermint are elected with party affiliation, that's how it's gonna work.
Thanks, I now see what I did wrong in the Google News search of www.dallasnews.com. Doesn't help that the DALLAS Morning News oddly placed the story in "Texas/Southwest" instead of the "Local" section that I had searched to no avail.
But no, this is not a good thing. Craig Watkins is just another corrupt flunky of the S. Dallas political mafia, see post #20. He doesn't have to fire the entire staff to get the intended effect, just the top-level gatekeepers.

Dallas political mafia) is an attack on all of us."
I was thinking the same thing. I would bet a lot of Howard university graduates will end up there.
I remember when the balcks used to complain about the White "Good old Boy Syndrome" Well: I have seen the black "Good Old Leroy" syndrome and believe me folks Whites cant hold a candle to it.

this is what you are supposed to do when you win.
"Watkins also fired ... the public integrity chief ..."
Yep, don't need no integrity now the Democrats be in charge.
I read it as 8484 per hundred thousand.

Go back to your studies!
Thats what you get for taking a Democrat at his word.
I see you have a lot of confidence in liberal democrats.
see post #26
And the last Democrat was Henry Wade.
This has become a huge problem especially in right to work States.
No reason given for being fired and being replaced by a less compentent / no experienced person.
I don't want to get into it, but this cost my wife her job right after Christmas.
