I always have maintained that local governments tend to be the most corrupt compared to the amount of power that they have, but the corruption is usually too small to gain notice.

"Corruption" has a meaning, and there doesn't seem to be any mention in either the article or this discussion of anything that would be corruption.

Picking winners and losers sure looks corrupt to me.

Many work in the local gov and make it in the fed gov after they "prove" they are worth it so I wouldn't say they are less corrupt. It's not uncommon for mayors to run for the ultimate job in the fed gov.
