A new study from researchers at the University of Hong Kong and the University of Indiana estimates that corruption on the state level is costing Americans in the 10 most corrupt states an average of $1,308 per year, or 5.2% of those states’ average expenditures per year.
How about the corruption in the national level? How much does that cost each taxpayer?

The paper explains that construction spending, especially on big infrastructure projects, is particularly susceptible to corruption because the quality of large, nonstandard projects are difficult for the public to gauge
It they (hong kong pinhead and indiana pinhead) are basing "corruption" on the politics of chrony capitalism, I can tell you 3 places that trump any of these south states.
D.C.
New York
Boston(or Chicago)
I don't need to spend years doing "studies" to figure this out either.
Pretty lame topic really, I should kick myself for posting in it.

List is shite without California on it.

What liberal Yankee spouted out this crap??
Illinois is so far out in front of this list that they can barely see the rest of the country in the rear view mirror. California is easily second. Michigan and Ohio are viable contenders.

I would have thought Edwin Edwards would have put Louisiana over the top. That is one corrupt son of a gun!
When I lived in Louisiana, I would talk to some co-workers and everyone of them would sit around the break table and talk about how crooked Edwards was. Then they would all say they were going to vote for him for Governor next election.

All 50 States
I note that Texas is the least-corrupt SEC State.
Look at the top ten least-corrupt States. You will probably detect a pattern.

I tend to agree with the criticism that judging the level of corruption by the level of convictions is, while perhaps the only objective way to do it, fatally flawed. In the most corrupt states, where corruption permeates the process, that corruption extends to prosecutors as well, so you simply don't have much prosecution of corruption, or at least not as much as you would with untainted prosecutors.

Illinois wins in a landslide. Any ranking that doesn't have Illinois first is completely incorrect.
