There is no indication that the new Commissioners are not following the law. The whole fishing expedition is incredible! My question to you is: Have you ever heard of something like it being done anyplace else in the country????
Classic example of flexing financial muscle to get desired outcomes, happens all the time. Use resources, usually indirectly through proxies, to reward those that jump at your requests, and to make life miserable for those that act independently. If those acting independently can be made miserable enough, they will eventually go away and other’s will be discouraged from seeking office.
