Elmer Whittaker 02/07/2012In a surprising moment of factual realization Mohave County Supervisor Gary Watson earn himself applause and handshakes with an astonishing statement at yesterday’s Mohave County Supervisor Meeting.
In discussion and open hearing on the demands for yet greater security for Mohave County’s Administration building, its employees and in particular the Mohave County Attorney’s Office which represented by County Attorney Matt Smith was not only asking for further bulletproof glass but even bulletproof enforced walls.
Supervisor Gary Watson clearly recognized and stated that much of the urge for more security was caused by the Mohave County Administration itself, by its attitudes and actions.
In spite of this clarity by Supervisor Watson it becomes more and more clear that the Mohave County Administration plans to transform the administration building into a “Bastion” like fortress.
I must really question the motives of the Board of Supervisors and the County Attorney’s Matt Smith for such drastic fortifications, after nearly 150 years of being an incorporated county.
Once this wasteful fortification project is completed and secured, it will necessarily have to be followed up by body guards and security escorts for administrators, attorneys and employees to justify all the investments for building security.
I am not aware of any incident in Mohave County’s history with which such drastic measured could be justified, now that Osama Bin Laden is dead.
It would be so much easier to run a legit county administration, law enforcement and judicial branch, completely without corruption and discrimination with respect to its constituents while being able to sleep peacefully and in harmony with God and County.
I mean you really gotta have a seriously bad conscious if you have to resort to this kind of fortifications.
