Can’t the social justice people just get along?
The bureaucracy from hell! Whether people drawn to that line of work are litigious by nature or they just identify as chronic victims, we don’t know. Probably a case of being both a breath mint and a floor wax. But Norman Davis, the director of the City of Madison Department of Civil Rights, twists slowly…
