Culture of Corruption, Part Five The Campaign Spot Jim Geraghty Reporting A fascinating figure that illustrates the ethical cesspool that is Illinois politics: << Researchers at the University of Illinois-Chicago tallied the price of corruption to state taxpayers: at least $500 million a year. Based on prosecution costs and estimates that 5 percent of state contracts go to the politically connected, that equals $109 per family. The total is enough to pay the average salary for 8,214 public school teachers. >> I'm just relieved that our president managed to emerge from that vortex of corruption unsullied by any muck or moral compromises. campaignspot.nationalreview.com
