Where, oh where, has our government gone?

Just wondering, why is it that politicians show up to where all the action is happening wearing their skirts and suits, but refuse to actually get their hands dirty and do some of the actual labor?  Where has our Town Supervisor (Frank DelGallo) and his henchman (Bob Godlewski) been for the last week?  Did Paul Tonko think that a town in his previous district got wiped off the map, so he needed to go where there was more money to be donated to him in his next re-election campaign?  Mr. DelGallo states that he has all this heavy equipment that he was planning on using to create the new Little League fields that he took credit for at the beginning of this year even though nothing has happened with it, but he can't use the same heavy equipment to head out to his elected public and help them recover from a storm of the century?  And he wants to be re-elected?  Well, at least he's had time over the past couple of days to get his re-election signs out.
