Well that makes sense in a way. If you assume that politicians are criminals, wouldn’t you want one with impeccable credentials?
It was a long time ago, but I think some city in jersey has the distinction of having re-elected their mayor while he was in jail.
CT does well in that regard! Long B4 hilLIEry pronounced it, there has been no *box* to check on background checks of resumes for politicians here.
Brings new meaning to *sanctuary cities*. ;(
