Having worked in public sevice for 30 years, Jaws is a perfect case study of the problems with city government. A political motivated mayor, refusing to listen to logic, who throws his police chief under the bus for trying to do the job he was hored to do
That was a great summary of the dysfunctional aspects of our various forms of government. Nice job.
True enough - Seattle last year great case in point.
I thought of the time when Wayne Davis tuna spotter pilot could not get any Cape Cod Newspapers to write about the white shark he had photos of, which was close to shore in Chatham, Cape Cod.
Remember the scene in “Jaws” where Mayor
Vaughn is concerned about the Police Chief Martin Brody panicking the beachgoers with shark talk.
“Martin, it’s all psychological. You yell barracuda, everybody says, “Huh? What?” You yell shark, we’ve got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.”
Only in this case on Cape Cod it
was Labor Day weekend 2008. -Tom
