Well, in the light of what the current and former mayors did, it is kinda inconsequential. That doesn't make it excusable, though (nor did I say it was), nor legal.

But it's such small fish stuff compared to the bigger scale fraud happening in local politics that it's almost laughable to focus on that.

But then we don't have a ton of local GOP politicians, so we'll take what we can. We did have George Santos, though, that one for sure delivered.
