Academics or public administration practitioners have written much of the literature on political-administrative relations. Little has been presented by politicians. The author reviews how the politicians who whom he served related to state administrators. He suggests that state legislators did not have a consistent approach in these relationships. Rather, administrators variously are enemies, allies, whipping boys or behind-the-scenes resources, depending on any given political situation in state government. Hence situational political logic dictated state political-administrative relations, driven by the self-interest of each particular elected official. - Reproduced.  aPoliticians  aCivil service  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  a72049  c72049d72049  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 29, Issue no: 12pAR72509r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
