Or used it to gift to family members. Willing to put a paycheck on them reselling it for extra income.

They're probably drinking it. Financial corruption is not really part of political culture around here.

I've lived in this state for 43 years and worked for political campaigns.

I mean it absolutely is corrupt here, but it's more like giving your friends big nonprofit contracts. Not bag-of-cash stuff.

Different places have different political cultures.
