It has been said that politicians don’t go to Washington and become crooks, they are crooks when they get there. Truth is that local politics are just as bad as the national scene.
I have a friend who’s wife is the mayor in a nearby city. It is difficult to believe some the facts about the elected officials in that town - not a town but a city. Following the election that many of the "old guard" lost, the losers are playing antics that would embarrass a sixth grade boy. It has gotten so bad at council meetings that the mayor has had to have police present to quite the "children."
It has been discovered that businesses were monitored because they opposed the previous regime. In one case, a person in authority wrote letters accusing people of sexual misconduct if they opposed his position.
What is it about humans that make them think they are "supreme" when they get an elected office? I’ll never know. If I ran for dog catcher, I couldn’t win.
Unless, the dogs got to vote. They usually like me.
