I’m in Fort Wayne Indiana. A very red state, and a mostly conservative city.
The director for the dept of health makes 191k/year. The second highest paid county or city worker is almost 50k less, and if I recall is the prosecuting attorney for the city. The director also received a nearly $70k bonus for 2020/2021 of course.
I happen to also work in a position with the local govt currently that I have access to any/all data and emails… and know how corrupt and cronyism ran and bloated/wasteful it is. I could have access to so much info that is potentially damning even, but it would take a trusted lawyer to sift through it and release it… and since the cronyism is rampant, who would even be trustworthy to go to with any corruption and expect anything done other than a target on my back?
The problem being - how do you even begin to show and convince voters of what is happening?
