Illinois' last governor is in jail, and the current one (Blagoevich) is under investigation, likely to be indicted because Levin and Rezko are squealing.

However, New Jersey has a depth of corruption unmatched by any state. Look at the history of government in New Jersey, at the state and local level, and you will find a lot of corruption uncovered (usually after the fact) at multiple levels of government.
New Jersey's Attorney General is appointed by the governor. Most states elect their Attorney General. I'm pretty sure, NJ Governor Jon Corzine also appointed the chief justice in the New Jersey Supreme Court. The governor also appoints county D.A.s
That is a lot of control. The governor has a free hand to do what he or she wants.
I wonder if the states that have the highest rates of corruption also have their governor holding so much power?

There is no oversight of the oversighters.
