Or the politician skipped the middlemen and hired his incompetent and/or uncaring buddy directly as a consultant.

Then once a contractor gets the inflated job he'll get monstrous no bid change orders just to make it work. Kinda. If the city is even lucky enough for it to work until the cleanup's done.

But that's OK, because he's paid up with the local councilman too

You've just explained how things work at Federal Mogul and the coffee plant where I now work. Both of them private sector, of course. Just substitute the word "politician" with the word "manager".
