"TRAC is the only game in town." "What other choice is there?" Here is the other choice. Resistance. If the only option presented is unacceptably bad then DON'T accept it. The magic word is "NO." Absolutely make it clear that either TRAC or whatever other self-serving option the professional liars and fellow travellors offer is totally unacceptable and cringeworthy.
Professional polluters and liars alike in positions of authority (financial, political etc.) abuse that authority at will. If they feel untouchable and unaccountable they are all the worse. Going along with their self-serving ideas that harm the public interest will never succeed. Reforming them will never succeed. Getting bought and paid for people profiting from the status quo to change and see the light will never succeed.
What is needed is persons in authority who are not in a conflict of interest position. Persons who will not suffer personal loss of money, status, authority by doing the right thing. That is woefully unlikely as they are constantly being bombarded with inducements, favours and entitlements of their job. Whatever authority they have is likely based upon them already having convinced their colleagues that they are not radicals and that they will support the status quo and the various established "institutions" such as police, health care, education (Boards), municipalities etc.
The only other alternative is to get the public en masse behind you. That is nearly impossible to do and even if briefly it happens such as in Elmira in 1989-1995 it does not last. Citizens have families, careers and other interests which take their time and energy. The professional liars and their friends count on that and just wait them out. That is exactly what the filth have done here in Elmira.
