SHOULD ELECTED OFFICIALS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

The question is should elected officials be held accountable? Do we as citizens care when a politician is caught doing something not necessarily illegal but a moral issue arises? At what point do we as citizens demand better from elected officials?
Recently the Mayor of Indian Trail appeared to not only deny when confronted about an email account, but had a secret email so as to monitor all emails to include all employees, but then used tax dollars to pay for such a maneuver. Politicians across our country have decided to do things not illegal but in a grey area of trust and morality. I only site the Indian Trail example due to it being so new. There are many issues associated with politicians that make this example look meek at best...but where do you the citizen draw the line? Let me know?

Of the things the Mayor of Indian Trail was accused of the money issue is most severe with me. The council, mayor, and Town Manager especially should be good stewards of our tax dollars. The most should be done with the least amount of money for the good of the town. Frivilous expenses such as setting up secret email accounts does not strike me as a good expenditure for the town. Thats just me. Tighter controls need to be placed on the tax dollars, limited access, safeguards and monitoring in place....it seems like a no brainer.
