Personal Note: Look Mr. Wolfinger, there was a lot you passed up over the years that took away our peace of mind. The area is now diversified and the education level is higher than it was twenty years ago. It's time for someone else to step in. The good ole boy club has got to go.

Of all the things that have been reported about Wolfinger, it seems he is "outraged" only about the contention from the Martin family that there was a meeting between him and the Chief of Police, interesting.

(46,747 posts)Do you have any idea how many politically powerful attorneys owe him for not looking into their professional misconduct and that of their clients? The entire government system in the nineties was based on fraud and conspiracy.
