That’s because violating the Sunshine law is a misdemeanor. The orchestrators of the witch hunt wanted to make a bold statement so nobody else would dare consider supporting policy that is inconsistent with their agenda. Hence the highly unusual allocation of state resources to find a way to cook up a felony charge on a county commissioner. If the county commissioner in question was Bradley Arnold instead of Oren Miller the whole thing would have been a total non event.
