You ran for city council because you wanted to fix potholes. You meant it. You actually believed it.
Then someone took you to a nice restaurant. Then someone funded your campaign. Then someone paid twenty thousand dollars to hear you talk for thirty minutes. None of it felt like corruption. Every step had a justification. Every compromise had a precedent.
Sixteen years later, you're the reason the potholes don't get fixed.
The system doesn't need monsters. It just needs people who are good at their jobs.
