Chronicle Posts

 * Bridget Jensen: For too long, nothing in this town has changed. The old guard is becoming the new guard. In ten years as a public defender in New York, I never saw as much corruption in law enforcement as I've seen in Erie Harbor. Holmes County's elected officials watched Lieutenant Frank Briggs lied as his disciplinary hearing yesterday with encouragement from his father and his cohorts. Sheriff Briggs let down my husband when he was a child. He let down Mayor Fife. He let down Richie. And they'll all continue to let down our own children if we can't insist on change. The future can be different if we decide that it must be different. And if we're not going to get it done, then we have to follow the lead of our children or get the hell out of their way.
