What do you think, Federal or State employee?
Should the family prevail in their wrongful-death lawsuit (and quite frankly I don't see how they couldn't), I would expect former Rep. Bill Janklow to bear the primary responsibility for the judgement awarded.
Regardless, if this does become a taxpayer burden (as I suspect it will), I will have zero problem with paying my fair share. I would not wish to deny the Scott family their right to compensation in any way.
This is probably where we find out Janklow has zero paper worth, matching his character worth . . .
He's a fed employee. Janklow's estate should pay the full amount.
