“A public official – who is literally responsible for managing the county’s E911 system – telling people who disagree with him to not seek emergency assistance is completely reckless, and disqualifying,” Kracker said in a statement.

Good government guru Rob Galbraith may have put it best when he tweeted, “If you’re in charge of providing…
