Post #22,971 by Silverlock 1/3/02 12:20:35 PM Reply	You're excused I thought the sentance understandable. What part don't you get? When I visit the aquarium, the same thought keeps running through my mind; Leemmmooonnn, Buuttteerrr, MMMmmmmmm good!
Post #22,994 by Simon_Jester 1/3/02 2:55:24 PM Reply	Thought I understood it... just find it hard to believe. Sure the Miami area was known for corruption a few years ago...but as a state, the most corrupt in the country? Well, I suppose opinions will differ - both in what constitutes corruption and in which is worse. I guess I just find it hard to believe that Florida is worse in the country. Usually I associate corruption with inefficiency (which for Government == higher taxes). Florida has no state income tax and a sales tax of 6% (iirc). I suppose Florida could be considered worse than Chicago, New York, and Mass.
Post #22,998 by Silverlock 1/3/02 3:10:29 PM Reply	No backup At least nothing tangible. I remembered reading a few articles during the recount fiasco that referred to FL as the most historically corrupt state. I think part of it had something to do with all the "land" sold to speculators that turned out to be swamp. When I visit the aquarium, the same thought keeps running through my mind; Leemmmooonnn, Buuttteerrr, MMMmmmmmm good!

Post #23,099 by jb4 1/4/02 9:10:11 AM Reply	A coupla other data points: Well, there's Illinois; just sit back and watch a state piss away a relatively high income to kickbacks, cronyism, patronage, no-bid contracts, etc. etc. etc. etc.... Remember, this IS the state of both Richard Daleys! But Illinois, for all its cruft, is a piker compared to Louisiana.... jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)

Out of curiousity... - (Simon_Jester) - (5) - Dec. 28, 2001, 03:27:29 PM EST

Check California, Illinois, and New York - (Ric Locke) - (4) - Dec. 28, 2001, 03:44:20 PM EST

No offense...but you're raising strawmen left and right. - (Simon_Jester) - (3) - Dec. 28, 2001, 04:32:26 PM EST

There should be a new law on this - (nking) - (5) - Dec. 28, 2001, 03:01:06 PM EST

What a free-for-all that would be - (Ric Locke) - Dec. 28, 2001, 03:31:49 PM EST

current law is just fine - (boxley) - (3) - Dec. 28, 2001, 07:37:48 PM EST
