Time was football tickets would not be an acceptable form of legalized graft. Times have changed:

Overseas trips, Stanford football games and free meals were some of the perks that elected officials in southern San Mateo County accepted last year, according to economic interest statements that had to be submitted by Tuesday.

On Nov. 7, [Redwood City Mayor] Aguirre and her council colleague John Seybert accepted Stanford University football game tickets. His gift included "snacks" and was worth a total of $356; her tickets were worth $178.
