Is New Jersey Political Corruption As Bad As People Say?

[HalfFull]

It's pretty bad. Maybe not quite as bad as it was, if only because Sharpe James is out of office.

Oh, it's DREADFUL.

The only place perhaps worse or at least neck in neck with NJ is Louisiana

Most states elect their Attorney General. New Jersey's governor appoints our Attorney General. This is a big part of New Jersey's corruption. There is no oversight over our governor's office. If he or she is hiding something, it stays hid, unless the federal government gets involved.

Best politicians money can buy. Oh, yes, Corzine, just where are those emails that you have been court ordered to turn over?????

I can't believe this guy is going to run for Governor come the next election.

I added a poll, which state's politicians are the most corrupt and New Jersey is winning in early results.
Which State's Politicians Are The Most Corrupt

I would tend to say yes except- the surrounding areas of nearby states are just as bad or worse.

Also, corruption has many faces. It is not like in the movies. People can't really vote on it in any meaningful way. They won't have the big picture.

I hope the Republicans put someone up we can vote on.
