Reddest county in a bright red state.
We are currently 'famous' for our county commissioners voting NOT to lower flags in sympathy with Orlando.

Our repug speaker of the repug house of representatives was just convicted on 12 of 23 felony counts and is on the way to a lengthy jail term.

Our very Christian governor (the Luv Guv) is facing impeachment over shenanagins with his "closest" female assistant.

Our even more Christian state supreme court chief justice (AKA The 10 Commandments Judge) has been relieved of duties for disobeying a federal court (again) and is facing dismissal (again).

Outside of that things are just hunky dory in the totally repug controlled state.
