State rankings for integrity

[shockwave rider]

Public Integrity ranked state governments for integrity and ethics based on laws on the books to deter corruption. Hawaii got a D+ but still ranked 4th in the nation, no one got above a C. I am not sure "laws on the books" is an accurate measure, if your state had a long history of integrity in government it might not have any laws covering corruption in government.

That's a pretty worthless measure given the laxity with which laws are enforced in these parts . . . unless you're talking about marijuana production, of course. We have to enforce that one to keep the cops entertained and the cash and property confiscations coming in.

4th in the nation? LOL Maybe from the bottom.
