Politicians loyal to financial backers

So, let me get this straight. The Snohomish County Council wants to pave farmland so a well-connected car dealer can open another lot while throwing both a Little League and a motorcycle facility off of farmland? Those two uses could be changed back to farmland when the market for local farm products improves while pavement is forever. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with who donates money to the politicians, could it?
