Their insurance is not provided by Santa Claus; rates WILL go up steeply.
I understand that. Perhaps the community wouldn't have to pay such high rates if they didn't keep incompetents in charge. The entire administration could be fired if the community cared to force the issue.
So, not only do they not want to pay the victims reasonable restitution, they like keeping idiots in charge.
I guess they all think the next kid to be victimized won't be their own.
