You are right guesty,that was his own doing and justice will be served.However, everyone in town,including the "TOWN FATHERS" knew he was up to something shady .It's kinda funny how he was turned in while some questionable town business dealings were about to come to light.Another example look at town elections the past few years.Mayor Britt actually lost to his challenger, but money and power got a new election. Guess who won the new election? When a key councilman got beaten by a challenger another councilman resigned from the board and the loser got appointed back to it. Fair Bluff is as crooked as the day is long,it's not the great retirement community(Mayberry) people think.
Just come drive down Main Street or better yet go to a town meeting and ask for a budget,or any public town records and see how far you get.
