Archie and the Jugheads

Archie and Scott ran for county commissioner. Scott would appear to be the one who would get the backing of the party, except he won’t back off budget cuts.

The party backed Archie, putting him the driver’s seat. Archie decides it’s a good idea to make up and spread some malicious stories about some of the good citizens of Clermont County, dropping him to dogt**d status, and who votes for that?

The good citizens of Clermont County, that’s who. The party pulled its support for Archie, but too late. He’s in.

Nothing really noteworthy at first, but then he stops attending meetings or anything else, virtually crippling the office of the commissioners. Through a third party, he issues a cryptic note-to-the-teacher.

As one would expect, that doesn’t fly so he sends in a resignation for reason of health. Have you ever known one of those to have anything to do with health?

Shortly on the heels of that comes an indictment against him with charges of drug trafficking and solicitation of prostitution. Various people from Clermont are on the radio expressing surprise.

What? Were you paying any attention at all?

Voters get the public officials they deserve.
