Our town is preparing to vote for new council members.
I just found out one council person wants another to be re-elected and is helping this person financially in order for that person to have the better chance to be re-elected.
There is something that smells rotten with this and it's driving me nuts to not be able to clearly put my finger on what this could be called and if there is something I should be trying to do about it.
I do have a personal interest in this since this person giving the money is related and it makes me feel sick inside, thinking there is something illegal in some way with this set-up.
Thanks in advance!!!!

sounds under the table but I don't the exact rules on donation for special interests and the like . it may be legal but money is a poor means of gaining votes just as mud slinging sets a terrible example from the exemplars of our nation.

A bribe...
Seriously, I am not sure what it is called exactly but certainly it is not ethical.

It is called corruption, or it is at the very least unethical.
