MODERATORS
Grossly mismanaging public funds should at least involve some kind of disciplinary action.
I think jail is a little extreme unless the funds went directly into the politician’s pocket. But some kind of heavy fine, or removal from office for egregious or repeat offenses seems entirely reasonable. Do we really want to encourage politicians to waste millions in tax payer money hunting down a fraction of that in fines.
They must have known who had outstanding fines and how much it would total to be. Did no one bother to open excel for this whole fiasco?
Politicians absolutely have a responsibility to exercise their positions appropriately just like any other job. The problem is we've all forgotten this and default to the "well vote them out" excuse to excuse some blantly shitty behaviour that nobody else would ever get away with in a regular job.
Just look at how Trump is still bizarrely in the running to become US president again for just how far we've let them push it. It's a disgrace.
