I am certainly not trying to imply that local/state/national government X or Y isn't corrupt or doesn't act outside the public interest at times. However, in the case of a court house in a strip mall? I don't think this is the same as widening a road to put in a Walgreens for your buddy who contributes $5000 to your campaign. Like all power, it can be abused by officials who are callous. However, it does not negate the duty of the citizen to give to his community.
