Nearly all of my local politicians flex their positions to enrich themselves and stifle competition. It's rather blatant, and a few antagonistic people with free time have spent countless hours documenting these abuses. The employees of the city laboring under these politicians are burnt out and have little good to say about their bosses in private. The politicians won't devote effort to anything that isn't: extinguishing a fire, enriching themselves,or getting re-elected. So the managers of various departments settle into autopilot because they don't have the support they need, and this apathy trickles down through the ranks destroying morale, wasting money, and ultimately causing far greater costs to the taxpayers in the long run.
