Elected officials in a primarily rural Michigan county are under fire after voting to give over $500,000 in federal coronavirus relief money directly to employees and themselves. Records obtained by The Flint Journal show the Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners voted to give a $25,000 bonus to "top-level administrators" and $12,500 to department heads. In total, around 250 employees bonuses, which officials described as "hazard pay."
Shiawassee County Administrator Brian Boggs, who was awarded a $25,000 bonus, said he also supported the payments, which were meant to help the employees who work for the county.

It definitely sucks but to be honest it's the populous's fault for putting up with it. They are supposed to be representatives, not rulers and we are supposed to be citizens, not subjects.
A fact that got lost and forgotten somewhere down the line

The populous wouldn’t put up with it were it reported by the media in the way it should be.

Perhaps, but these days you can't be sure those representatives weren't installed.

I worked as a First Responder throughout the entire pandemic. I risked my life.
I got nothing. I was called a racist because I’m a middle aged white male.

Stop this, it’s time people stopped blaming the democrats or the rebuplicans. The transfer of wealth from us to them is completely and utterly bipartisan, the most bipartisan agenda that has ever existed in DC.

If the media did their job the right way, virtually all of America’s problems would be remedied.
