The thing about Mayors is that they are the default tie-breakers. We are made to believe that councils are important, but not so much. Council members vote one way or the other, and there is usually a consensus of the vote because most of the votes are of little consequence and/or all parties of council stand to benefit for voting in one particular way. The really important ($$$) matters are often defended by those on either side who stand to benefit, probably bribing as many council members as possible, resulting in a stalemate, wherefore the mayor steps in and has the most important vote on the most "important ($$$)" issues. That's how I see it anyway . . . not sure if I explained it clearly, but I hope it was enough to get the point across.

@Adam Davis The only ones allowed any real power in our system. are those itching to abuse it. Its a system designed by thieving bullies, FOR thieving bullies.

Basically.

I agree! This is what happens when some elected officials have been in office for too long, amassed too much power, and completely forgotten exactly whom it is they are supposed to be working for. In general terms, a good elected official should always have a healthy dose of humility and never forget why the public voted them into office and when that ceases to be the case, whether that be one term or ten, it is time to leave office and let another fill your seat. I don’t know how voting works where this happened, but I know how surprised I was at the level of official corruption I discovered when I moved to South Carolina 15 years ago and that corruption, in my opinion, is facilitated by two common practices among our voters here: 1) casting votes based exclusively upon the candidate’s party, often without even knowing who the individual candidates are and 2) our state’s use of a lazy “straight ticket” voting option that facilitates voting based exclusively upon party alone and encourages far too many voters to cast a vote based solely upon their political party and, sadly, encourages voters to never even bother to learn who any of the persons they are voting for actually are nor what their platforms and positions may be. I firmly believe that the “straight ticket” checkboxes should be removed from ballots so that voters at least have to take conscious responsibility for every candidate they elect by personally checking off that candidate on their ballot as the straight ticket checkbox discourages voters from taking full ownership of their voting choice and instead transfers that moral and ethical responsibility off the voter’s shoulders and places it upon the political party, allowing the voter to deny personal responsibility for any and all of their elected officials (e.g. why should I bother to educate myself to vote better if I convince myself it is my, or the other’s, party’s fault instead of my own and my fellow voters). I have always voted a mixed ticket as it is exceptionally rare that one party, regardless of one’s general personal political bias, truly has all the best candidates and ideas in any given election and I believe in holding myself accountable for every candidate I have ever voted for. When candidates go unchallenged for too long due to being protected by their party they too often forget who they really work for and become corrupt as they cease to see themselves as the public servant they promised to be and instead it becomes all about amassing ever more personal power and the back room deals meant to protect that power.

@Linda Gray "Here in the U.K. we can be jailed for criticising muslims." Criticism and racism are not the same thing. Saying "they make a lot of noise when they are all at prayer in the mosque" is one thing, perhaps even a legitimate municipal complaint if it is close to residential housing. Saying something like "they are all dirty towelheads and I don't want them in my backyard" is basically just racism - if you need to say it, say it in your own backyard or house where no one that cares is likely to hear you, if you do so in public then it's on you for being an anti social cunt then isn't it?

@Linda Gray That's evil, pure evil. The people should riot over that, and I don't mean "protest," but riot - pitchforks and torches time. Tear it down, drag them out, hang them - 1791 that evil all over again, because apparently they didn't learn.

Also all the election lies didnt end in any charges because they where also fake . So let me see ... only the trumpers have so far been sentenced and guilty of crimes. The left is doing just fine, because Trumps lies dont really stand up in court

Yup. The new mayor needs to fire the old police chief and hire a new one.

That mayor is *white.* The rest of the council members are *white.* And since you asked, Chile is probably the least corrupt country in South America, with a score of 67/100 on the Transparency International corruption perceptions scale. To put that in perspective, the United States under Trump has a score of 69/100.

They are absorbed in the fact that their way is the only way, and watch out the person who dares to tell them otherwise. A narcissist will go out of their way to discredit anyone who challenges them.

They are currently attempting to permanently rig all elections in the US by making the government the only ones allowed to handle elections and count votes. Essentially, soon all elected seats will be chosen by people already in those seats.

More than fined.. JAIL time, please. Any time an elected official abuses the power to arrest someone.. they should do jail time.

Wow, you nailed it!

It may seem that way, but I've been involved in this, even at the municipal association level, where I learned the majority of how things really work at local government. There is no "internal unelected government," though it certainly feels like that, doesn't it? What you are experiencing is the combination of two things: 1) local government leaders fulfilling promises to business concerns in the municipality, in return for their monetary support during the elections which put them in power, and 2) the almost complete lack of recourse for untoward municipal-level transactions. You typically have to petition the state bureau of investigations for that, and they don't take on cases lightly; you have to have all the verifiable evidence already available to them, in a whistleblower-like arrangement. This is why such cases never see the light of day. It's all so very protected, until someone they don't expect shows up, like a young girl doing a book report on municipal financial management. This is how one very famous case was successfully prosecuted; HBO made a movie out of it. If you really want to solve problems like this, it isn't through some fakakta organization like Institute for Justice; it's through establishing a state-level GOVERNMENT organization that can be called upon to open an audit on any municipality by an anonymous person with zero evidence in hand. IFJ is "retail," handling one individual and very forgettable case at a time to make damages cash they can split with the plaintiff -- PLUS whatever they raise in their "legal support funds" via crowdfunding. The work of the people is much harder to accomplish in any meaningful way.

@@adamchurvis1 Wouldn't a civilian org. be more inclined and effective towards rooting out municipal corruption rather than a GOVERNMENT org., as you stated? I envision something like a police oversight board which is composed of civilian/non-law enforcement personnel for good reason. It seems a government org. would be just another layer of vulnerable bureaucrats compounding the problem. Though nothing is perfect, I would rather have organized civilians on the watch rather than organized government policing itself.

@@isadormoti6977 It cannot possibly work that way, due to third-party agreements that prevent them, such as between municipalities and Police Unions. To do so would be Tortious Interference; a ruling as such becomes the End Of The World As We Know It for the defendant, which in this case would be that third party. It isn't a third party when it's an official government action that is clearly responsible for pursuing such things -- hence a government body at a higher level: the state in which the municipality is located. Also, civilian boards can only write and submit reports to the head of the very municipal organization they are investigating; they have zero authority to take action. Read on... This is a very real thing. If you remember Dr. Jeffrey Wigand who was a whistleblower on Big Tobacco, CBS was being sued for Tortious Interference because airing their segment on him would have interfered with the Non-Disclosure Agreement (a type of tort) that was struck between Wigand and Brown & Williamson. The damages would have exceeded the total worth of the entire CBS corporation, meaning they would have surrendered EVERYTHING to B&W had they lost, which they were almost sure to do at first look. I can tell you from first- and second-hand experience that lots of local, state, and federal governmental bodies are very solid, hard working organizations that are not only very effective but very efficient as well. A state-level investigative body as I had described it would work very well -- especially since their only work product is discovered wrongdoing and possibly also recovered assets, and this is very visible evening news kind of stuff. Easy to measure come budget-crafting time, too.
