    Forget resigning … these people need to be put in jail.

    This shit is just going to continue, forever, as it has my entire life, until we have and enforce REAL penalties for this kind of crap.

      Well you’re not going to get real penalties until voters stop acting like idiots, which just isn’t going to happen.
