Nepotism may or may not be illegal, and steering contracts to your friends may just be the result of a small pool of available contractors, and of course a member of the committee for Big Oil is going to be acquainted with Big Oil leaders. Some corrupt politicians just abuse and twist the system for their own ends. A constituent who comes to him for help had better be ready to hand over a juicy "campaign donation" in a Briefcase Full of Money (or an offer to " make a problem go away").
