  1. Can we finally send Sias to prison and have law enforcement and the courts set their sights on Hardie Davis for his eight years of theft/misuse of public funds, violation of the open records law, and violation of his oath of office? Next in line should be the commissioners who supported Davis and refused to approve a forensic audit of his office and the ARC government.

It usually takes the judge less than a minute to explain the defendant’s lack of logic and find him/her guilty.

  2. Man Up ! Grow Up ! You’re Guilty ! Your problem is you’re a Federal Felon, which means NO PAROLE. You are no better than former Senator Charles Walker. He completed his sentence and is done with it. Your turn.
