They're the result of the dysfunction of municipal politics. Isn't that basically what caust1c said? It looks like the two of you are in violent agreement. :-)

No.

Lobbying is when big companies spend a lot of $ to try to get their way.

The dysfunctional municipal politics rayiner refers to is when politicians pander to various groups of voters to get votes.

They don't pander to this voter to get vote.
