Yay! Nevada not on the list!

Of course, like in every ranking of the US states, we usually come in right in the middle of the pack no matter what. Good or bad.

[Iron Munro]

More Liberal propaganda.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

These are the states who prosecute corrupt persons.....the most corrupt states don’t prosecute

[Sooth2222]

The list must be completely bogus. It is a statistical impossibility that an accurate list of the 10 most corrupt states wouldn’t include New Jersey.

From the University of Hong Kong?

[AlexW]

Sorry, butI think the list is a lot of malarky.

[eizverson22]

Fortunately, my states not in the above.

Pennsylvania (# 5) ping!

[Sybeck1]

After the Magnolia Massacre you know who is number one

[Viennacon]

1. Mississippi - Got to agree after what we just saw

2. Louisiana - Famous for undead voters, but it should barely make the top 10, let alone #2

3. Tennessee - No. Somewhat, but no.

4. Illinois - Belongs in the top 3. Chicago politics anyone?

5. Pennsylvania - Almost entirely attributable to Philadelphia

6. Alabama - No

7. Alaska - Yes. Double yes. Tripple yes. Palin told us all about the ‘corrupt bastards club’

8. South Dakota - No, for its faults, its not very corrupt.

9. Kentucky - Yes, but at #10.

10. Florida - Replace with California and slide up the list.

I’d have to add Maryland to the list, and New York. Major corruption centers. And WTF Minnesota not on the list.
Actually, forget all that, Minnesota gets #1 SPOT FOR CORRUPTION, Mississippi down to #2.

I’d say

1 - Minnesota
2 - Mississippi
3 - Illinois
4 - New York
5 - Alaska
6 - Maryland
7 - California
8 - Pennsylvania
9 - Louisiana
10- Kentucky

BS!

Alabama is not a corrupt State.

I should know I was born and raised here.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...construction spending, especially on big infrastructure projects, is particularly susceptible to corruption...

Which explains why Ubama is always pushing for more spending on "infrastructure."

The spending occurs, but nothing ever seems to actually get built.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

What the hell does University of Hong Kong have to do with ranking anything in this country? And as far as the University of Indiana...another leftist hell hole.

[fwdude]

Who gets to define “corruption?”

Is it corruption if nobody cares that it’s happening?

[Paladin2]

SD?

[vetvetdoug]

Because of Delbert Hoseman and a few others, Mississippi has identified and prosecuted more criminals than the State has in the past. This past Republican Primary has uncovered much more and I think there will be more to come.

[xrmusn]

Only because it is NOT a state keeps DC off the list.

Pound for pound/people for people/sq mile for sq mile, DC is more corrupt than any other area in the country.

The only thing that keeps the ‘lid on it’ is their strict gun laws.

Much the same as Chicago and New York, just imagine what hell wholes they would be if people were allowed to arm themselves.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I always hire the University of Hong Kong (handed over to communist China) to assess corruption in America. Makes perfect sense.

[cva66snipe]

No state can hold a candle to the corruption existing and thriving in Washington DC aka District of Columbia. Illinois as such can top the list due to Chicago’s Criminal Political Machine.

BTW is the Chris Matthews shown as author the same Mr. Obama Makes My Leg Tingle Chris Matthews?
