Clay County Auditor William James Norris Resigns

This was posted at 3:07 PM this afternoon on NBC Action News website, William Norris resigns as Clay County Auditor. According to Norris’ letter he needs to focus on his family and personal matters.

I have very little to say with regards to Mr. Norris. I appreciate that Mr. Norris has decided to do the right thing. I also hope that Mr. Norris is able to get the help that he so desperately needs. At some point in the future I hope he is able to return to a productive live as a citizen of Clay County.

Personally, I think the most frustrating thing of this whole ordeal, and the thing that matters the most, is that the citizens of Clay County were so inept in choosing the right candidate for the job.

It’s not just corrupt politicians, it’s not just dishonest politicians, it’s apathy and a lack of appropriate involvement by the people that cast their ballots. How else do you get corrupt politicians? In the end, the question is, will we learn from this? One can only hope.
