Mine (NY) is. But the politicians here are a lot smarter about it than they seem to be in Illinois.

1. You mean there are states that aren't corrupt? |
|
Which ones are they, and how soon could I move there?

4. Ah, I remember that place. |

I was banished when I turned 8. I don't think they want me back after everything.

6. My state is full of Blunts (MO) |
|
I don't know if it's corruption or just assholism.

7. In CT we have a gov who went to jail and several mayors and one mayor who molested two children |
|
I would say it has been pretty dismal here.

8. Institutionally corrupt, with a big shiny seal of the state behind it. |
|
But we don't stop working on it.

we're running on the straight and narrow. The current status of our Democratic governor and soon-to-be two - TWO! - Democratic Senators, as well as my own Democratic Congressman, is quite satisfactory for me, and for a whole lot of Virginians as well.
I'm not sure the Southern mores would permit the kind of corruption found in Illinois. We're just too well-mannered.

but then Ken Blackwell and Bob Taft got the boot and Tom Noe went to jail.
Now we have the glorious Ted Strickland and the equally fabulous Jennifer Brunner and Ohio went blue in November.

15. for the most part I would say that |
|
Vermont is pretty free of corruption. I am not so happy about the reelection of our Republican Governor but I would not say that he is corrupt and I am very happy with our Washington delegation, Leahy, Sanders and Welch

17. Wisconsin? I have no idea... |
|
Maybe we're in the pocket of Big Dairy? Someone else from here could probably tell you better, my knowledge of state politics is limited... city politics even more so... :shrug:
