Just because your boss turns a blind eye to your activities, or even suborns them, doesn't make it any less illegal.

The only work he did for the county or city was related to making him look good, get re elected or just plain political BS. The real work on projects was always accomplished by others and still is. Rex probably hasn't had an honest days work in his life. Does all of that make him any different than the other politicians? I do not believe it does. What has made the difference is the arrogance and relationships with other arrogant bastards such as Burum, Biane, Ovitt, Deveraeux, Erwin, Postmus and the like. People are willing to overlook many things until you act like you are better than them. Politicians are just that and we can paint them all with a wide brush of corruption, but the narrow brush of arrogance defines the evil we so hate. Rex is a slimy sort no doubt.

That's what I teach my kids. Just because others are doing it doesn't make it right. Rex got caught and he may pay the price that others continue to get away with. It's the chance he took.

Maybe we should have a ban of people employed by any government agency while serving in elected office. Councilman Wapner of Ontario ended up going on 'disability' in order to keep on getting paid while serving as city councilman due to Granlund's law being passed. http://www.dailybulletin.com/clippers/ci_14383908 Assemblyman Granlund wrote a law that prohibited people serving local and county government if they are employed by those organizations 10 years ago.
