Well, I've lived in a bunch of them, and I'm something of a political expert, but I'd say Maryland, Louisiana, and Rhode Island probably take the cake. New Jersey and Massachusetts still have a number of good, effective, and honest local governments, as does California. To be really, totally corrupt, a state has to have all the governments -- state, county, town -- in on the scam.

I still claim victory through historical precedence.
There is a stone planted in the ground at the ancient borders of Massachusetts Bay, Plimoth Plantation, and Providence plantation. It is about 4-5 miles from the present northeast corner of RI where it meets Mass.
It's from the sixteen hundreds, about 6-8 feet tall and has carved into it an admonition to the good men of Mass Bay and Plimoth to shoot any denizons of Providence Plantation found beyond the border after dark. It's called the Angle Tree stone.
Number one then, number one now Rogue's Island Yeah!
