Chairman Smith, do the right thing for the public

Fayette County has a zero-tolerance drug policy for anyone that works for the county. Why does this not apply to our esteemed Board of Commissioners? Are they above the law?

Mr. Horgan has clearly violated the law, his judgment has been impaired, and he has lost the trust of those who elected him and those he was supposed to represent.

I am calling for action from Mr. Smith, the Board of Commissioners chairman, to stand up and intervene and listen to the people of this county and ask Mr. Horgan to resign.

The other Commissioners are guilty for remaining silent and not upholding our rules. Arwen--- good letter. The other Commissioners had plenty of time to talk to Mr. Horgan privately to encourage him to resign. The other Commissioners could have then publicly voiced his support for County policies and for good government, and then publicly calling on Mr. Horgan to resign. Instead, they have remained silent. Perhaps they are too busy with ARC and new roads.

Too many politicians are quick to pass more laws, more rules, more ethics regulations but politicians won't obey them and won't enforce them. It seems to me that these Commissioners and Horgan have higher priorities than the "public good". I voted for some of them and I am angry.

If a County part-time bus driver, crossing guard, kitchen helper, phys ed teacher, deputy sheriff or maintenance worker was busted for marijuana they would have been long gone by now.
