Justice Department reports show that 576 public officials in California have been convicted on federal corruption charges over the last 10 years.

According to an exclusive report from The New York Times, a real estate boom was behind driving the corruption specifically in the city of Los Angeles.

The Times report cited Jose Huizar as an example. Huizar, a graduate of Berkeley, Princeton and UCLA law school was on the school board and City Council. He was eventually arrested after FBI agents found out he received about $1.8 million worth of casino chips and other favors from Chinese developers which were used to influence how he made decisions on multi-million dollar commercial development projects.

And this, dear friends, is why taxes are so high. Everyone involved has to take a cut.

Some may complain, and some politicians may demand that "something be done", but the voters elect the same politicians. If someone new IS elected, they just insist that it is "their turn at the trough".

Someone said on this site that 'politicians should be changed as frequently as diapers, and for the same reasons'. An accurate statement.

They caught 600... There are likely 6,000 that they didn’t catch.

You are correct. They no longer even try to hide the corruption. That is how confident they are that the “hive” will protect them.
