Higino Carneiro
For this week's free episode, after a brief visit to Butte, Idaho, and a quick New York Minute (did you know there was a mayoral election there?), Riley once again takes us back to the Mundo Lusófono, with Angola's Hignio Carneiro. How much corruption can one man get away with? We don't know, but you can at least build a hunting lodge out of a bunch of MRI machines.Subscribe to the Municipal Benevolent Feed at nogodsnomayors.com to get double the mayors!
Municipal government: a trap that catches those too incompetent, too corrupt, too incompetent even for national politics. And the greatest of these, the mayor - the highest political office one can hope to reach with a truly oppositional personality or a crack addiction. Mattie Lubchansky, Riley Quinn and November Kelly are teaming up to make a podcast investigating these mayors. From petty Bonapartes to flagrant mafiosi, these are their stories.Every other week, we'll have an episode on the free feed. For more Mayoral goodness, check out the bonus episodes on our Patreon.
