And the most corrupt state is...

Recommended Posts

Assuming that politicians are uniformly corrupt (as a body) which I do, what this says is that N.D. is the least corrupt state in that they find and prosecute their corrupt politicians at a higher rate than the other states.

... not Illinois, according to a USN&WR analysis.

In fact, despite the governor's best efforts we only come in 18th.:S

I wonder where DC would rank.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Al Capone once said that he paid more money to
the Chicago police force than the city of Chicago. However, no one was arresting the police or any of
the corrupt officials.

So, I don't think it is fair to assume that the officials
are not corrupt.

city of gangs
Chicago's crime problem back in the news:
***CHICAGO (AP) - The head of the nation's second-largest police department says he is establishing a new unit to deal with gang slayings, which he blames for a murder rate that eclipses that of New York and Los Angeles.

Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis told aldermen Friday that he was setting up the Mobile Strike Force to attack the city's gangs. The unit will be comprised of roughly 150 veteran officers divided into about a dozen teams and will "disrupt gang crimes through physical arrests, search warrants and gun seizures," Weis said.

He said there were 75 identified gangs in the city and 75,000 gang members.

"The gang culture continues to be the driving force behind the vast majority of violence, with more than half the murders committed by gangs," he said.

Aldermen expressed concern about the rising murder rate, pointing to a published report that Chicago had 426 slayings as of Tuesday, compared to 417 for New York and 302 for Los Angeles.

The Chicago Police Superintendent says that the
murder rate is caused by criminals in gangs.
(Not that it isn't obvious to everyone else.)

That was always Al Capones rule. He said, when
you meet another gang. He'll have a knife, so you
carry a gun. You go to the doc for stitches, he goes
to the morgue.
