This is not Roth's fault, nor is it something Ige can easily solve.
Both of these guys need to do better. Yes, their jobs are difficult, but they both showed a real lack of backbone in the face of blatant lawbreaking that endangered others.
Ige shows every sign of being an invertebrate and only got re-elected because he was seen less of a cutthroat good old boy than his opponent. We'll see if he has changed now that he doesn't have to worry about getting elected again.
As for Roth, he continues to prosecute marijuana offenses, saying he has no choice as long as those laws are still on the books. (He also vehemently defended a confiscation law that took people's property with no due process whatsoever. Seems he liked all the money that rolled in.) Yet when it came to people rolling rocks dangerously down a mountain, he managed to get choosy about what laws he would or wouldn't enforce. He may be worse than Ige when it comes to hypocrisy.
