New Jersey is surpassing Illinois as a citadel of corruption, and this woman knows why:
Sandy McClure, co-author of the book “The Soprano State: New Jersey’s Culture of Corruption,” agrees that big government is a big reason behind the state’s corruption problem.
“You have all these little authorities that everyone has to go to for permission,” she says. “Too much government means too many opportunities for officials looking to cash in. And there’s no way that the press can keep track of it all.” [Italics added]
Every new ordinance means a new chance to bribe and be bribed, does it not?
