At ANY level, it just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on ................. and, just think of ALL of those politicians who have not gotten caught yet. SLUSH FUNDS and campaigning for the "boss" is probably prevalent at every level of government, and always has been a way of life. I have known some "slush fund collectors" for politicians at ALL levels.
"Call me anything you want, but please, never call me a politician. Politicians and "Cameleons" have much in common .... they change "colors" to fit their surroundings.
