[EL] State corruption risk rankings

[Sean Parnell]

I thought the list might enjoy the recent report (I assume - there's no date
attached that I can easily find, but it is the leading feature on the home
page) from something called State Integrity Investigation, which appears to
be a joint project of the Center for Public Integrity, Global Integrity, and
Public Radio International. It purports to rate the risk of corruption in
all 50 states based on a variety of factors - campaign finance of course,
lobbying disclosure, procurement, public access to information, etc. 

 

Residents of the Garden State should rest easy knowing that their state is
least susceptible to corruption according to these rankings. Other states
scoring in the top quartile include Rhode Island, Illinois, and Hawaii.
Louisiana just missed being in the top quarter, coming in at #15. Citizens
who need to watch closely because their states are at high risk include
well-known cesspools of corruption such as Utah, both South and North
Dakota, and Maine.

There's a term, I can't recall it exactly: 'Something in, same something
out.'

 

Best,
