A Rare Display of Common Sense

The Wilkes-Barre Times~Leader reported Wednesday that new Luzerne County Sheriff John Gilligan will NOT follow in the steps of his predecessor, and put his name on the sides of the cars in the sheriff's office fleet.

Outstanding!

Pre printed paperwork and forms also will have just the sheriff's office logo, not the name of the person who's in the big office.

As I said here, when I blogged about it in November, those are your cars.  They do not belong to the sheriff.

There was something else in the T~L that caught my eye.  Businessman Thom Greco is angry at the county because it closed an office in one of his buildings, and the county says it doesn't have to honor the lease.  If you sign an agreement, like a lease, you should live up to it.  On the other hand, part of me wants the county to tell Greco that he'll get his rent money after the county gets all the back taxes Greco owes.
