Harvard Law Schools Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics is out with a fascinating new report measuring legal and illegal corruption in American states, and Florida does not fare particularly well.
The deep dive is here, but heres the short take:
Illegal corruption is moderately common in Floridas executive branch.
Illegal corruption is very common in the states legislative branch.
No state has a high ranking for illegal corruption in its judiciary.
When it comes to legal corruption, Florida falls into the very common category in both the executive and legislative branches.
Florida is also listed as one of Americas most corrupt states, along with Arizona, California, Kentucky, Alabama, Illinois, New Jersey, Georgia, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Rhode Island, and Texas.
