The article suggests they said they're drinking it. An important bit of nuance when someone has just broken trust.

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.

Pardon me for disagreeing, but that's a pretty naive take. Like saying you've never encountered a cougar in the woods, so there must not be any.

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.
