Virginia ranks 47th out of 50 States in "corruption risk"

Our race to the bottom continues.


"The Old Dominion is one of nine states with no statewide ethics commission, one of four states with no campaign finance limits and one of only two states (South Carolina is the other) where the part-time legislators handpick the judges before whom many of them practice law."

"...lawmakers have exempted a key institution, the State Corporation Commission - which regulates businesses, utilities, financial institutions, insurance, railroads - from Virginia's Freedom of Information Act."
