8. In my state even cops can run for public office

A local cop ran for and won mayorship of a nearby city. Since he wasn't policing in that city, there was no conflict and he served his term. I have no idea if STATE employees are prohibited from doing so, but local (city, county) aren't, at least not in my area.

Also, aren't most librarians city or county? They are here. Libraries are county based, not state based in most locations I've seen
