I like that they appoint an inspector to find fraud and waste and then attack the office when waste and fraud is found.

Why does it seem like every politician is just a shitty grinder.

Also its apparently cheap as fuck to get whatever you want from these assholes. $5k from a business and $2500 personal check gets you a $70k private driveway.

That’s actually expensive in terms of bribes.

Look at congress bribery: it’s usually corporations giving them hundreds of thousands and receiving billions in return

Shit, you don't even have to look that far... Pugh got $500k from UMMS, $100k from Kaiser Permanente, and $80k from the Associated Black Charities for her nonexistent childrens books.
