I am not too surprised by this, honestly. In the US, we are obsessed with national politics. There is a *clear* divide between the two sides. I am extremely conservative nationally, I believe our founders wanted a limited federal government for many reasons. Locally though, I can go any way. So, I think local Republicans and Democrats are more alike than we might otherwise think. Sure, some Democrats may push some political "sanctuary city" initiative or some conservative mayor might talk big on protecting the taxpayers or whatever, but in the end, things need to happen in the city, hence spending issues.
