I live in Ill-Annoy and will indeed be paying for this in some manner.
You may be confused: There is no functional Republican Party in Ill-Annoy. We have a uni-party system known as The Combine.
Many Republicans are RINOs, and many are the "go along to get along" surrender-Republicans.
In the legislature, Republicans are a micro-minority, and complicit in many of our disastrous laws, administrative rules run by entrenched Deep Staters, and budgets with so many gimmicks that would make Rube Goldberg proud.

And, people on the outside wonder, “Is this some new political trend?”
The Combine got JFK elected in 1960.
