That story seems convincing.
In 2009-2011 we covered a huge mayoral bribery trial. The mayor of a midsized southern city, Larry Langford, was convicted on $235,000 in bribes to grease bond deals, leading to a MASSIVE boondoggle: a $3.2 billion sewer debt, contributing to the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
I thought, even then, $235K seemed light for a big town mayor.
So $600,000 in a years-long deal for a sitting congressman?

My iOS 17.4.1 exhibits an extremely annoying bug in iOS Shortcuts.
Dialogs (for input, for display) stop being displayed blocking the shortcut.
The aggravating factor besides breaking the shortcuts is that the only solution I could find is to restart the phone. This makes it extremely frustrating as an experience to a level that not even old days Windows required restarting this often.
My searches are not finding anything useful.
