I am sorry but, public officials hold a more accountable position than the regular joe, yet are never held accountable. This is one in a million that got caught. They should pay a higher price for criminal activity. And their salary's are way ridiculous, for what they get paid, we should get the best, most honest public servants,anything else is unacceptable. We, the public have to earn a pay raise, while theirs is automatic,whether they deserve it or not. No job on this planet should have $100k+ entry level positions. And, no government employee is worth more than that. Judges in LA Ca. get $178k/yr. that's just sick, no wonder the states broke.
