This is genius.
Let’s not leave the Whitewater Center thing to chance and let’s not worry about Jim Black ducking a just punishment. All we need is a little creative sentencing.
That is why Judge James Dever — or whichever judge Jim Black declares morally fit enough to sentence him — should sentence Black to spend the next 100 weekends of his 10 year prison sentence in a dunk tank at the Whitewater Park.
At 3 balls for $5, that pesky Whitewater debt will be retired in no time, plus an important public education object lesson will be enforced. For added fun and contextual meaning, we could fill the tank with the same kind of slime and sludge Black has been pumping out ever since the investigation into his dealings began.
Sounds like — smells like — justice to me.
