That one trick? When politicians focus on actually doing their fucking job.

The job is to hire a survey team, count the potholes, then hire consultants to decide which outside contractors to get to fill the potholes, and don't verify they do anything at all, if they don't steal the asphalt and sell it to local driveway contractors.

That's how it's done in my city.
