Your view is that him getting shit faced drunk and all damages and injuries that occur should be covered by the public. We aren't his servants. If you want to do whatever you want, dont do it on the property where we will held liable. Also I agree it shouldn't matter who you fuck, but if it's a journalist/reporter, all subject matter pertaining to your position is now null and void. It's like fucking the health inspector, someone else needs to be doing the inspection then.

What damages? What injuries? What the hell are you talking about? If there were any, then of course those would be his responsibility. I saw no mention of anyone being hurt by him at all though.

We aren't his servants.

No shit? Who said otherwise?

If you want to do whatever you want, dont do it on the property where we will held liable.

Again, what are you talking about? Held liable for what?

Also I agree it shouldn't matter who you fuck, but if it's a journalist/reporter, all subject matter pertaining to your position is now null and void.

I'm really not sure what you mean by "subject matter pertaining to your position" or "null and void". Those words don't seem to mean anything at all in this context. But if your concern is that an elected official is having sex with a journalist, there's literally nothing wrong with that so long as it's not coercive (like to get/stop a story, for example). Elected officials are allowed to fuck and even marry journalists, my guy.

It's like fucking the health inspector, someone else needs to be doing the inspection then.

You're suggesting that this creates a conflict of interest, and it very well may. But that conflict is the journalists, not the official's. So I still don't see how this matters for his job at all.
