As I read all the posts I see the normal “bad cop” comments, but no one seems to wonder about the mayor’s role. The cops are wrong for not speaking up sooner, but to whom? With speeding tickets providing half the city’s budget how is it possible that the mayor, city manager and town council didn’t already know and encourage this? The place is a cesspool and the cops are just the part you can see.
Szabo was suspended on Aug 12. He was replaced by one Corporal Smith, who was named interim chief. Cpl Smith has already been suspended for misuse of city property. The county is taking over the operation of the police dept., we’ll see how long they last before the city fathers regain control They are not going to loose that much money without a fight.

If the State of Florida were ethical itself, they would take over and disband the town of Waldo. But government officials are all buddies out on the golf course. The real problem here for all of them now is how to put the sheeite back in the horse.
