Legislators and agencies are antagonists. Based on my participation in politics. Local, county, state, but not federal, so YMMV. Think bureaucracy, the Deep State, ambitious climbers, technocrats, whatever. Observing agency heads run circles around elected officials completely flipped me from "yay term limits" to "pay electeds more, give them more staff." FWIW, I think everyone should run for office at least once. Folk understanding of politics isn't even wrong. Becoming and serving as an elected really sucks. Least of which is serving as arrow catchers for all of govts faults.
