Impact analysis
Taxpayers could be on the hook for more than just the bribes, as investigations and potential restitution costs add up.
Honestly, nobody really wins here, but maybe the citizens who get a more honest government in the future.
The residents of Compton are harmed because their trust in elected officials is shattered, and their tax dollars may have been misused.
