Thank you for posting. Endemic stealing in local government, as opposed to stealing generally, is quite common. It does not involve every official or even most, necessarily, but the story in the Times linked above: he stole a little bit every day... town employees gas up their car at the town tank... you pay your traffic ticket with a money order and it ends up in the judge's pocket... I think that happens way more than you think.
