re: Most Corrupt states in America (SEC well represented ) winner is......

Before our county clerk Shelly Ashley Palmertree I would have cried foul - no way that Louisiana isn't #1. But after this debacle I'm thinking we have corruption by design. Even though Ms. Palmertree was obviously ripping off the county to the tune of ~$600K, there was apparently no way to fire her. This went on for years and made the front page of the paper for years, and nobody could do anything. The only way they finally got rid of her was the discovery that her principal residence was in another county.
