That is usually true, but I’m pretty sure there was a story a while back where inspectors found a water line being tapped and no record of it every having been done or approved. And for power, some of them are using their own power generation, despite how dirty that is, so the city/county would have no record of how much power is used.
There is absolutely massive amounts of corruption and collusion happening though. Not trying to minimize that. Just want a complete picture of how much the oligarchs are willing to cheat, bend, or break the system to achieve their goals.
Impossible. The city/county knows and just aren’t telling people. It’s collusion.
