small town politics
there is a funny story tucked away on 3B of today’s waco trib. you can read it here:
it seems that meridian’s mayor ran across a truck charging it’s battery off of a city building. the mayor took the extension cord and stored it in city hall. later in the day the police chief arrested the mayor for “depriving him of use of the cord.” in that case, shouldn’t the chief arrest himself or the truck owner for stealing electricity from the city. the truck owner also appears to be a friend of the chief. days later the chief resigned, which is supposedly unrelated to the arrest. yeah, right!
that would be a fun way to get back at somebody you’ve been annoyed with. arrest them under silly pretenses and then resign. showed them!
must have been a slow day in meridian!
