Ok, found some words. This parade was sanctioned and encouraged by the local government and made use of gov't facilities and resources to make the event happen. This was on a state highway that I pay for.

Unless there is an immediate condemnation of this float as well as some legal action against the perpetrator (if he did it on his own) it might be construed as the opinion of the gov't officials.

The Clerk-Treasurer, regardless of her hafassed attempt to claim independence, is most assuredly in the very middle of this business.

She is the face of that county, an elected official. If she doesn't have accountability, just who does?

And that goes for the asshole LE guy also. Don't they have any security procedures at all? Or was he enjoying the "show".

Sheridan Clerk-Treasurer Elizabeth Walden said the town applied for and obtained a permit to close Ind 38 and Ind. 47 for the duration of the parade. The parade entries are organized and approved by the Lions Club, she said.

Walden said she does not know who drove the golf cart. She declined to respond to the growing reaction to photos shared on social media.

"I'd rather not comment," Walden said. "I don't want to get in the middle of it."

Sheridan, population 2,900, is a small rural community in northern Hamilton County. In 2012, the county gave 66 percent of its votes to Republican Mitt Romney and 32 percent to Obama.
