The fact is that it is not the corrupt Mayor who suffers from this abomination but the people who have to pay the bill.

Indirectly, you are right of course: they should not have elected an idiot as Mayor.

Oh honey, don't get started on idiot mayors. I researched the crook in our town and he has seven pages of property purchases. When he first came to town as City Manager, he had never been a City Manager. Now he thinks he is the Almighty Mayor. But he hasn't learned to spell conspiracy!
