The biggest tragedy is that Jefferson County is represented by Spencer Bacchus, Co-Chair of the House Financial Services Committee and his Chief of Staff Larry Lavender who is conversant in derivatives. Not a public peep from either as far as I know. If these two aren't outraged and don't do something about this, then taxpayer lethargy to date is understandable. Perhaps the first sign of "discontent" will be a homicide. We will just skip all the preliminaries.
