CHICAGO (CBS) — A former Chicago alderman turned political science professor/corruption fighter has found that Chicago is the most corrupt city in the country.
He cites data from the U.S. Department of Justice to prove his case. And, he says, Illinois is third-most corrupt state in the country.
University of Illinois professor Dick Simpson estimates the cost of corruption at $500 million.
It’s essentially a corruption tax on citizens who bear the cost of bad behavior (police brutality, bogus contracts, bribes, theft and ghost pay-rolling to name a few) and the costs needed to prosecute it.

All we need now is one of those Staples
“That Was Easy” buttons.
In other news, water is wet and the sun rises in the east.
Naaah! Can’t be! /s
Ummm.....DUH!
We’re number one!
We’re number one!
We’re number one!
Even more than Washington, DC?
Only because Detroit is out of things to steal from...
Strip the money out of Chicago and it will burn.
That’s why Baraq is so dangerous.
A hard left academic with a “masters” degree in “operations” from the Chicago political mob.
That decade as a “community organizer” .........
But IL is only the THIRD most corrupt state?
#1 and #2 must be, um, what, NY and CA?
NY and MA?
NJ and NY?
I really want to know!
And just think: Chicago gave Hussein his Senate seats on a silver platter (even ran unopposed in his state race, IIRC).
In the words of the great George Putnam: “This fish stinks from the head.”
Yep and the cream of the corrupt crop is now running our country——great.
They don’t call Cook County, Crook County, for nothin’!!!
Where did New Orleans rank?
I never understood how Obama defeated “Queen Hillary” who was predestined for the nomination.
Several FReepers have educated me that the Chicago mob had a tactical nuke they could threaten the Clintons with. This kept the Clintons from using their vaunted private detective force to dig into and publicize Obama’s dubious history.
Likely some info on the multitude of suspicious deaths of people associated with the Clintons over the years.
Only a Chicago could produce the likes of our sham president....
Good one
