He’s a Democrat. People expect them to be crooks, but don’t care as long as they get their Free Stuff. In fact, being a crook is a resume enhancement.

I hate to say this, but this is how Chicago worked (and rather well) for many years in the first half of the 20th century. As long as your taxes were reasonable, your street was clean and any pothole got called into the alderman and fixed in a week, and the trees on your street got trimmed, why would you care if the wheels got greased occasionally? You might even call your alderman up and get your kid a summer job, because he would know people. His representatives would remind you of this come election time. If you were just a working schlub, all he would want was your vote.
Where the system broke, was when the politicians started taking and then never giving anything back.
This might cost him 1 percentage point of the votes unless some formal charges are filed.
People are getting sick of democrats being liars and crooks. Yes, there are some who are 5 generation welfare lowlifes who just want checks to keep coming in... but most people are past that... way past that...
