Impact analysis
Taxpayer money could be wasted if this councilmember was involved in shady deals.
Honestly, nobody benefits from corruption, but maybe the public benefits when corrupt officials are held accountable.
The public is harmed because trust in our local government is eroded, and potentially, public funds were misused.
