WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE KOOKS IN THE WORLD-it just seems like it. For years the authorities have been trying to get a guy to clean up his lot of old refrigerators, car parts, etc. He just totally ignores them. Yesterday he got his day in court. The total of his fines came to $1.6 million (that's right). The judge was in a merciful mood. He told the guy he could pay 9 cents on the dollars which came to only $143,840. The guy told the judge he had no authority, etc. The judge read the law and the judge's constitutional duties and set the fine. Who knows what will happen next?
The guy did sorta tried to get even. After the hearing he filed for county sheriff-as a Republican (if you care).
