General Road and Highway Discussion

I believe they are suggesting that council is pandering to their unjustified needs (using city money wastefully) to buy votes.

We have to define "buy votes" though, because the people there have just the same individual vote as a less wealthy person.

It is being suggested by me and others, that the politicians pay more attention to these people based on their wealth, so it is a valid question of "why".  To be honest, I don't really know, maybe these people contribute to campaigns, i.e., buying signs, or maybe it is just that these people have the means to make trouble for local politicians.  I'm not sure.   But I can see a pattern.
