In small elections public sector workers share an unequal amount of the power with regards to political spending. This includes police workers.<p>It is against the best interests of anyone seeking office to act against these unions, especially DAs. Thus, you get far less oversight than you should.<p>People being apathetic or disillusioned with our political process is the biggest problem for the middle and lower classes right now.<p>Disclaimer: I am not anti-union, just making an observation.
