I mean that, where I live, the County Commission is where the real local power and opportunity to make money are. Various finagles occur, such as the Democrats’ attempting to enact districts instead of at-large representation, because they can never get a Democrat elected (unless he changes parties).
On one occasion, the Commissioners attempted to pass lifetime health insurance benefits for themselves. In another incident, they issued sewer permits to housing developers far in excess of the county’s sewer capacity. A contract dispute with the County Manager around that time resulted in his walking away with around $500,000, even though he was under indictment for several real estate swindles.
The point of my post above was that, if there is going to be significant fraud in the primary here, it would be in the Republican CC primary, not the presidential primary. By the time we have our primary in North Carolina, it’s too late to make any difference in choosing the presidential candidate.
I was not making a sweeping statement about county commissioner and their equivalent nationwide, just talking about specific local events.
How big is your County?
