Gotta love the perks!

"Each council member has considerable leeway with his or her discretionary funds. Any grant that is less than $5,000 does not require a grant application and does not need to be presented to the council, allowing members to give out small chunks of taxpayer money whenever they want to whatever eligible cause they please."
