It can easily afford it.

What the city can't seem to do is rid itself of corrupt employees and corrupt practices.

These people talk a big game, but when it comes to basic office management, they're less than worthless.

I wish I could vote to leave the offices empty. I honestly think that would improve things.

I do wonder if a little part of this is, they talk a big game, get into office and then see the details of full picture and realise they over promised.

It is a nice theory but then they bring out the same rhetoric when seeking re-election. So yeah, corruption may be abound.
