The State Attorney General has vowed to prosecute anyone involved in the corruption scandal to the fullest extent of the law. Meanwhile, Sunnyville is left reeling from the revelations. The town council is expected to appoint an interim mayor while they search for a permanent replacement. The community is also looking to heal and rebuild the shattered trust that once defined their town.
