No. That's the problem. Everyone else is held legally accountable for bad decisions that cause injury, but government honchos and their staffs are generall immune from legal liability for bad decisions. Now if they do things that are clearly outside the scope of what they are supposed to do, like running a gambling hall or brothel on government property, or self-dealing, that's different. But they are basically immune from liability for dangerously stupid mistakes.
Also, I remember learning somewhere that local governments owe no "duty to protect" the public. You can vote the elected people out of office, but you cannot sue the police for never showing up to save a life.
BTW, that last bit is not legal advice, just stuff remembered off the top of my head, and it could be wrong. I'm sure as heck not going to hold myself out to be sued.
