If the Mayor had gained control of these things, there would be no talk of resistance or retaliation at all!
With his capabilities, he could easily manipulate the entire Bay Area; under such circumstances, it's tricky to say who the "locals" really are!
He couldn't figure it out and ultimately could only attribute it all to Sam's greed or caution. He obviously wanted more, thus hiding these things, and in the end, this played right into his hands.
He took apart these notebooks and placed them in over ten different kraft paper bags, which would be stored separately. This was to ensure that even if someone stumbled upon something, they wouldn't get their hands on all the evidence at once.
What was extremely valuable to the Mayor was now somewhat burdensome for him because if this information leaked, he would face an onslaught from the entire power structure of the Bay Area.
Even Paul couldn't speak up for him this time!
