16. This kind of boldness is exactly what I deal with in my Republican county
on a daily basis. People here have two faces. To the dumb masses, they talk the talk of honesty and fiduciary responsibility. But in the end, no one takes a civic position without planning to get some private money out of it. That's the influence of the Chamber of Commerce. They infiltrated community civic positions and look aghast when you suggest that they should not personally gain from their position of authority.

It's time to call them on it.
