I’ve worked in local gov since the 1990s. Mostly worked with good people, and never directly experienced corruption. Have seen news articles, and seen once good people take $$$ from those known to be corrupt. Disappointing but not surprising. That all happened with the elected officials though. Now during covid, some interesting things. First were the weekly briefings. I understood from an emergency management perspective. Brushed that off. Then continual messaging about the vaxx. Worked two different places in different states after the vaxx, messaging somewhat similar. Almost got mandated, but they got lawsuited and stopped. Most recently a couple of weeks ago was on a zoom meeting with our chief executive, was discussing covid and how our numbers were trending in a positive direction and the fire chief mentioned getting back to normal. Our chief executive then laughed and gleefully said we’re never going back to normal. I just sat there and wondered WTF?
