For sure they didn't drop it out of the goodness of their heart.
There was once an idea that elected politicians should champion the interests of their constituents.
Somehow I don't think this was in the constituents' interests in the first place.
I think that idea died a very long time ago.
Yup, and constituent apathy killed it. if people can't hold their reps accountable over even the most obvious BS, and re-elect them anyway, why would reps bother trying to hide it?
