Get new coucilmen and get rid of that nonsense. The idea they can overcome the market with that stuff is absurd.
“Get new coucilmen and get rid of that nonsense. “
The local politicians are from a limited number of families who have been running the government at all levels for several generations. I suspect that’s more or less the case everywhere. My uncle was involved in a similar arrangement in a small Ohio town. He’d meet for lunch with the entire power circle once a week and that was where all the real business was discussed and decided. The public meetings were like Kabuki theater. Included was the sheriff, the judges, etc. The same is true in my county. Even if you managed to get in some new blood, probably they’d discover drugs in his car or something. Even if it was ridiculous, by the time he got cleared he’d have spent his fortune.
The elect new people idea sounds good. But it isn’t practical. And, once someone got elected there’s no way of knowing if they can change anything. For example, suppose the school funding from the state or the feds depends on meeting their other agenda items? You’d defund the schools just so evil developers can raise the price of homes that nobody who is currently voting needs to buy?
