Respectfully, this was a case of poor journalism, unfortunately, the taxpayers will pay the tab.

Well, there was some hope. Bummer.

My sentiments, exactly.

Having spent a small amount of time in the field of journalism (got out when I realized that truth was in short supply), I could tell that this story was lacking, so to speak. I wanted to believe the individual officer was liable, but a quick search revealed that the taxpayer was the paymaster :(

Thanks for your reply!
