The foxes are in charge of the chicken coop. Having made initial mistakes they are in the position of having to defend those mistakes by compounding them. Clearly, there are not enough checks and balances in place. Not enough watchdogs to guard against the foxes nor enough penalties to make those in charge think twice about lying and compounding the lie. The penalties for compounding lies should increase exponentially over time to prevent the paramount ethic at work from being, "Cover your tracks at all costs."
"A lawyer is a representative of clients, and officer of the legal system and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice." Not so if your name is Linda Pike and you work for the Idaho Board of Tax Appeals. You don't even have to follow the Rules of Professional Conduct, Court Rules or procedures spelled out in the Idaho Statutes and Administrative Code.
You think too that you have the power, just like Carolyn Hartman, to claim you are a judge in the Superior Courts of two counties in Washington state, and freely alter an order of the court, with no authority to do so, putting a person's life at risk of grave harm.
It's good that you think too your experience with the Tax Appeals Board qualifies you to be a county commissioner.
I guess this puts you on par with another UI Law School grad that suggested I should have lied and then I would have avoided all this.
I majored in Ethics while completing my advanced degrees, maybe you missed this class or the toxic farm chemicals in the air around here altered your moral aptitude.
