Why do you assume people even know who Bud Dwyer is?
In the end, he did what he did because he was still in office, without resigning. And that guaranteed his wife and children would get his pension.
That was thirty years ago but it should be mandatory to know about it. To remember what corrupt politics is capable of doing to its dissidents.
Is that like “who is John Galt?” No one knows Bud Dwyer.
