Politicians around here tend to fall into a few categories, lawyers who aren't good at courtroom law, guys who inherited a company from daddy but it was too much work to run, people raised in political families to think they're entitled to rule the little people, leftist activists who graduate to politics and some career small business people. The last group understands how easy it is to run out of money and get burned spending on non-essentials. The rest don't. The city can't afford the 1400-1500 officer department it needs to control violent crime today because of all the money it's blown on guarding dozens of special events each year, Yum Center, Papa John, paying Google for internet, bike lanes, needle vans and all the rest. There is little understanding of what's important. They do big ticket emotional feel-good purchases in the year leading up to an election every time. It's a lot like mommy kissing baby's elbow when he scrapes it. It doesn't do any good and may even infect the wound with the bacteria in her mouth.
