One more example that humans will use any position of power to extort money from others. Politicians get money for votes, photographs and laws. Taxi, bus and limo dispatchers demand money or food to get a good vehicle to drive. And some say we are an advanced society?
[From article]
"The alleged cash payments were made periodically and ranged from $50 to $200, said a transit-union official familiar with the investigation.
There was also edible extortion, workers told investigators, with Carrington allegedly asking for Cuban sandwiches, rice and beans, and coffee, transit sources said."
