Politics and Administration Behind the City's Fiscal Condition. Since the city's incorporation, formal political authority in East Sea Beaches has long been occupied by a single political group named Raksa East Sea Beaches (RESB)(a fictional name) for about 27 years The RESB is well-regarded as fiscally conservative and having strong political support from both inside and nearby jurisdictions. In effect, political continuity enables the city executives to generate a coherent set of policy priorities and to smooth the implementation of key development programs. There was no need for escalating municipal spending in order to forge political allies.
