People who live in small town America may think that it is utopia but they will never know or can even fathom how much money filters thru their towns. Small town politicians are always vying to win election not because they want to serve the public but because they want to serve the higher ups in the party for their own advancement.
How do they do this? Simple, by making sure that the right (proper) professional firms get the work and contracts that they are supposed to get - not always because they are good but because they are party lackeys. Large contributors and party loyalists get their do with nice paychecks that will come to them at the expense of good government.
When voters are asked to vote for someone because, they will be a good public servant, they should always be skeptical and do their research. Voters need to be more knowledgeable in who they vote for and not always become blinded by what they are told. Watch out, for when their public officials forget to represent the public and represent themselves they have sold their integrity. As always follow the money and one will find that politics can be a lucrative business; and when that happens it is time to make changes...... Even in small town politics....
