@murodegrizeco The mayor of Amity Island in "Jaws" comes to mind:
"Mayor Vaughan of Amity, Long Island, was presented with evidence that a man-eating shark was feasting on the locals, yet he insisted that the beaches remain open. The original book gives him criminal reasons for this decision, thanks to his connection to the mob. The Jaws movie explains that his decision is based on the economic well-being of the town."
