だいぶ撒いとるしなあ means what?


だいぶ - greatly? 撒く - spread? しなあ - ?

UPDATE: the context is the following. It's a scene from anime 'Your name'. The
mayor is giving a speech in front of an audience. Then the focus is moved to a
couple of people standing in the back among the crowd. A man says, "He's going
to be reelected anyway". A woman says back to him だいぶ撒いとるしなあ. In the subtitles
it is translated as "I heard he's been dishing out the pork". As far as I
understand し here is used to creat a list? Like she's adding to the man's
point. And なあ is just for emphasis? So "And (he's been) greatly spreading
(rumors/lies?) (about himself?)

In the context of politicians running for elections (in small towns), 「撒{ま}く」
can usually mean just one thing -- **"to go around giving citizens/voters
things that have monetary value"** in order to win their favor. The original
meanings of the word are " **to sprinkle** ", " **to scatter** ", etc., so one
could see the connection.

「だいぶ」 is an intensifier.

「し」 is used to give an example. In this case, it is one example of the reasons
why he would be reelected.

「なあ」＝「な」. This is a sentence-ender for a light kind of declaration that also
functions to seek agreement from the listener. It is similar to 「ね」 and 「ねえ」
in meaning.

Thus, an example translation would be something like:

**"He sure has done a great deal of handing out stuff around us, hasn't he?"**
