If you announced an independent financial audit on every state legislative member, and you were going to publish the audit once it wrapped up....they’d all resign. I don’t you can find a single Republican or Democrat....who would be ready to survive a real audit.
That’s really the problem that every state has, and why the whole system is so corrupted. Who pays for their weekend holiday in Aruba? Who pays for the set of golf clubs they got back in November? Who pays for the case of wine they got? Who pays for the leased car they drive while at the state house? It all adds up.
You’d be surprised how well they can hide it. The community organizers don’t even try. It’s too much trouble.
