How many times has this excuse been used by public officials for incompetency and stupidity? Give me a break. “…revisit it” is political speak for we screwed up. Unfortunately, it appears that in state and local politics in Georgia being incompetent is not a reason to fire someone. If release of accused murderers is not enough, no wonder the rest of city government is an exercise a lack of individual responsibility. Ask why they are so slow at the tag office, jury selection system, permitting office, etc. and you will be told that it is not their fault, someone else is to blame. Of course, that excuse is not limited just to government employees.
