John Pritchett: Track The Blue

Recent incidents involving Honolulu police officers including a chase that ended in an accident that critically injured two young men have prompted local attorneys and others to urge the U.S. Justice Department to step in. The feds say they are considering it.

Feds don't need a magnifying glass to find dirt.  It's more where to begin is the problem.

I don't think the feds can place the state into a receivership and if they could, they have no Solomon to step in and rule with wisdom and fairness. We have to live with what we voted for, like it or not. We did four years ago and we are doing it again. What I hate is these swings that favor one minority group over another with the rest of us wondering how it happend. Be it federal, state, county, city or homeowner association, mass apathy seems to allow it to happen. Care enough to vote and the consequences.

Feds: Yes, please do step in. But first— Please, please, closely examine and audit in every way possible the multi-billion-dollar failure of Rail! Only your intervention will save us, as well as future generations, from our local politicians.
