The Scandal Files site has just been updated and now includes the monthly Corruption Roll Call USA
This section grew out of the realization that for many in the USA, corruption is something which occurs elsewhere.
Well, that was so until things really heated up towards the end of September. For the most part, however, corruption is reported locally with only minor references nationally. Roll Call is an attempt to focus all the diverse bits into one picture. At this early stage, while we are working out the parameters, the list might not be fully comprehensive.
Some potential corruption scandals have been omitted, simply because the allegations are not sufficiently supported.
If you think we should feature a looming or real scandal you can contact the editor of Scandal Files with your submission.
The October Snouts in the Trough (SITT) Award has been posted. The lucky winner is Kentucky Governor, Ernie (the Noodler) Fletcher. Ernie’s antics deserve a lot wider attention than they have been getting.
Cronyism is it seems part and parcel of the body politic in the US. Under Ernie’s watch blatant ‘jobs for the boys’ would become a minor misdemeanor rather than a serious ethical breach.
