The news came out yesterday regarding the largest donations to local political races.
There surely may have been more critical elections locally, but I can’t remember one.
Financially, one can’t argue that the monetary donations help the candidates - but what is the potential risk for those getting big donations, perception-wise?
In Albemarle, the candidates have raised at least $150,000 - for Board of Supervisors seats, salaries for which area minute fraction of the amount raised. Local politics should not be subject to partisan politics - but they are divided by the type of donors.
This is true - for the amount of time and effort the Supervisors put in, they’re underpaid.

It’s pretty obvious:
Developers (& their PACS) are paying for A LOT. And the reason needs little explanation.
