I have to agree with JD Seller, not that I endorse the behavior, but the law in this case is probably going to protect the morally bankrupt. The department head is probably not Union, but I bet the union knows about his affair it and will use it against the department head or board member in the future when it suits their needs. Their behavior is wrong, it will eventually compromise their positions, but unfortunately the law will protect them until they are compromised and then the taxpayers will be damaged and legal proceedings could occur. If this particular county is anything like the one I worked for it's not about right and wrong, it's about power and prestige.
On an interesting side note the son of a former city attorney in northern Wisconsin has been charged with 9 felonies. The former city attorney has announced that he will not be representing his son in the upcoming court proceedings but only at the initial arrangement. One of the county judges, who is also the brother of the accused has recused himself from the case, the remaining Judge in the county has also recused himself from the case. The district attorney and his office have recused themselves from the case. So a Judge from a Neighboring county (which happens to be across a bay from the county) will hear the case, a special prosecutor will drive up from Madison the work on the case. Judge for yourself a circus, a bunch of people not wanting to do anything that might cause a mis-trial or open the door for appeal or government officials afraid of retribution?
From the previous week's paper a town in the same northern Wisconsin County is fighting with the owners of a salvage yard over code violations. The matter is made worse when it comes out that the county had taken the property on a tax forfeiture with in the last 5 years but the county's corporate council "gave it back" without approval or permission of the county board. The same issue of the newspaper had a lengthy story about a tractor the town purchased. The town has decided they don't like the tractor, they aren't going to pay for it and are returning it. Their reason is it doesn't "meet specification", the town board wrote a specification on how far they wanted the mower to reach out They wrote the spec the mower should have a 22' reach. The tractor that was delivered has a 22' reach, by "industry standards", meaning reach is measured from the tractor center line, the town claims their spec was 22' from the wheel edge. The taxpayers will be damaged on that one and the town board will wonder why no one bids on the equipment they want to purchase.
But then this is the same county where one of the mayors learned asking the State Trooper who's arresting you for drunk driving for oral gratification is a bad career move. The citizenry was shocked, but no one who really knew the mayor could remember actually seeing at work and sober any time after 10 AM in the last 10 years or so. The mayor was a former Sheriff's deputy and later the sheriff. Rumor was a 12 pack only lasted about one shift when he was on patrol.
Of course this isn't as bad as the county I lived in in Tennessee where the Sheriff didn't think the federal felony indictment on "Conspiracy to violate constitutional rights" was going to hurt his re-election campaign. I was almost embarrassed to have the same last name has he did.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
