With Rackauckas, It’s Just Politics as Usual
Re “Hey Tony, This Term Don’t Be a Wiseguy,” Jan. 22:
It’s all politics as usual, whether it’s possible war in Iraq or war in the Orange County district attorney’s office. Tony Rackauckas, a former judge, is well-aware of conflicts of interest, yet is unable to avoid the appearance of impropriety or conflicts?
And what about the cost to the taxpayers for all the wrongful-termination actions brought against the county by fired and transferred employees? Anyone who supported his opponent in the election was denied the right of free speech based upon his dictatorial office policy.
What a society, that the county re-elected such a dishonest man to this position (blame ignorance?). Yet he’s obviously got friends in the right places. No, no appearance of impropriety here! Dana Parsons for D.A.!
