Governmental laxity

Rick Lau of Georgetown writes:

The fact that over $10M could be stolen from the state coffers by Dept. of Revenue worker Michelle Cawthra is a disgrace; not only for her, but also for her supervisor (and really her supervisor’s supervisior, etc). They simply were lax in their duties in allowing a loss of that large amount to slip by unnoticed. Her immediate supervisor(s) should be fired for being so lax, but ultimately probably won’t be as there are just too many protections for civil servants. I’m afraid that similar “diligence and dedication” is being applied by government officials to protect us from coming terrorism - very scary!!!!

$10.00 says I can steal Rick's hubcaps due to his lack of oversight. What a ridiculous column! Goverment is huge (and going to get bigger now I fear). They did catch it...eventually, and good job. Rick may need to practice “diligence and dedication” in trying to pull the tin foil down from the windows.
