Impact analysis
While there's no direct price tag yet, taxpayer dollars could easily get tied up if this leads to ethics investigations or legal trouble.
Open government advocates and citizens who want higher ethical standards from their elected officials benefit from this coming to light.
The city's overall reputation takes a hit, and the victims who had to deal with the uncomfortable behavior are the ones bearing the brunt of the harm.
