Taxpayers twice screwed

It's bad enough when a politician or public servant goes bad.
There is a real and considerable cost to taxpayers for public
corruption and incompetence; screwing number 1.

Then they go on administrative leave while the glacial process
of removing them creeps along; screwing number 2.
If a politician or public servant is fired; make them pay back
any administrative leave they have unjustly taken.

It gets worse. Taxpayers pay for the lawyers that defend
corrupt and incompetent politicians and public servants from
the consequences of their corruption and incompetence;
even if they're not really "employees", link, screwing number 3.

Make that; taxpayers screwed thrice.
