In case you missed it, this letter to Editor printed in the Oklahoman makes an excellent point. And, might 'we' suggest...how about politicians running for office being required to be bonded or required to carry errors and omission insurance - with them paying for it out of their pocket - to cover any judgements or situations such as we read below. And if wrongdoing causes them to lose coverage, well, then they also lose their job! A lot of other 'workers' in Oklahoma are required to carry insurance.
Letter to Editor...
Regarding "Labor Dept. paid $200,000 settlement over ex-workers dismissal; Alleged reprisal costs agency" (news story in Oklahoman July 3);Why must taxpayers fund huge settlements when politicians are caught in a wrongdoing?
Democrat State Labor Commissioner Lloyd Fields was [recently]caught in a partisan and illegal employee termination and the taxpayers must shell out $200,000 to cover Fields wrongdoing.
And this is one of many cases in which wrongdoing/crimes by Democrats have cost Oklahoma taxpayers big time. David Hall, David Walters, Gene Stipe, Mike Mass, Carroll Fisher, and now Fields have cost taxpayers huge amounts of money.
The law should be changed to force any politician caught in wrongdoing to pay for it themselves. This would mean the guilty politicians would pay any settlement out of their own pockets. And they should immediately lose their job.
