I think it depends...I have been involved in some local government activities and come away pleased. I have heard of stories like yours as well. All I was really trying to relay to folks is that we have a better chance of making a difference at the local level in getting them to respond to something than the federal these days. Sometimes successful, sometimes not.

I think local government is corrupt as hell too. It's just as bad if not worse in a larger city. People are given jobs through blatant cronyism, whatever their qualifications. If anything it is worse than on a State or Federal level because there is little or no scrutiny on that level.
