I know other states claim the title but I think is't undeniable that New York has the most corrupt state government in the country.

I am sure I am not the only one who wonders what a Dean Skelos is.

“Dean G. Skelos, the once powerful Republican majority leader of the New York State Senate who was convicted with his son in December on federal corruption charges, was sentenced to five years in prison on Thursday.”
Right there, first paragraph, seventh word.
When Sheldon whats-his-name was convicted, it wasn’t even mentioned.

It’s too bad you can’t go back and correct a posting. In retrospect I should have added a little info in parentheses in the title.

A linked article about Sheldon Silver.
First Paragraph:
“Sheldon Silver, who rose from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to become one of the state’s most powerful and feared politicians as speaker of the New York Assembly, was sentenced on Tuesday to 12 years in prison in a case that came to symbolize Albany’s culture of graft.”
They mentioned “democRAT” in the THIRD paragraph.

To be fair, they do mention Silver’s party in the third paragraph when they refer to his conviction. I don’t think this is a case of Name That Party.

New York state holds the honor of the only state enshrined in the Corrupt Politicians Hall of Fame.

Just another corrupt politician. show me a hundred politicians and I will show you 90+ corrupt politicians.
This is only front page because it is an election year and Skelos is allied with the Republican side of the coin*.
