Hillbilly wisdom.............from Rico

Even in the best of times (and these are not those times, btw) a politician's "job" is typically to make a bad situation worse as expensively as possible.

One cannot expect ANY top-down 'solutions' from them. There are none.
- Neither can you expect them to leave you in peace to get done what needs to be done.

Only interference ever comes from the top-down, usually in the form of heavy-handed regulation.
