If you were saying that local politicians can be dirtbags too, I agree. If you are saying that they tend to be as scummy as federal politicians, I disagree.

i'm saying that the politics are no less about ego and power than they are at higher levels of government

if anything i'd say they tend to be more that way because many fewer people pay attention to them -- and those that do usually have direct material interests in the policies involved, whereas you have legitimate ideologues that can have some influence at the federal level
