Just sounds like a rural town to me. Whole police departments have been disbanded due to funding, corruption, and public outcry. Services are (often poorly) handled by county or neighboring towns temporarily or even permanently. Here’s a re

Last I can find is that Stanford has been ordered to cover ~$70k of Jacobson’s legal fees by the CA Labor Commissioner. If that holds I wonder if we can expect more spurious lawsuits from CA professors, knowing their employer will be forced
