The government official named in the comments section would involved in awarding contracts. He could be voted out of office but how many of his friends will be awarded contracts until that happens?

“Maybe they work for a city.”

Great answer

I live just up the road from Sandy Springs. It is a great little city (I tend to call it a town but that’s me). They have done amazing things there and continue to prosper. The city leadership is so competent and knowledgable it puts other politicians to shame. The mayor is a free market, professor emeritus of economics. The manage has done an outstanding job of paying attention to the details of contracts. People should pay more attention.
