I can't imagine anyone reading this story and thinking, "Oh, this must just be a series of unfortunate accidents by naïve supervisors."

"Not knowing how things work" is only an excuse up until someone explains to they, "I was elected, here is the law," and they deliberately refuse to acknowledge it

(The reason people run for these obscure, low-paying jobs is so they can get rich on the taxpayers' dime - so they can rezone and procure and otherwise redirect money and influence to their own interests. No one does it as a fun hobby.)

Most people I’ve met doing anything like this for less than minimum wage are absolutely doing it for fun, or to help their communities.

If they sometimes assign the job to their friend Josh instead of the faceless general contractor 3 towns over, can you blame them?

And if that friend Josh then sometimes pays them 10% in kickbacks, can you blame them for taking it? They are putting so much work in for so little, after all.
