Throw the Rascals Out! That has been the battle cry for eons, but the real trouble with that is that most voters only see the other legislators as being the rascals who cause the trouble. They continue to be blind and continue to vote for their own legislator because he's the good guy that votes the way they want him to or he gets them things.
As long as that is the attitude of constituents, it will be pretty hard to have widespread change. The 50 newly elected legislators from the payraise debacle have done very little and probably feel as if they've hit a wall. The legislature does stupid things, but I wonder if the anger of the people over bonusgate will remain potent enough to bring sufficient change in November.
Certainly the implications of bonusgate are formidable, but, I suspect, this thing is so deep-rooted and widespread that many more individuals should be paying the price for their actions than just the 12 indicted.

I'm trying to remember back to when this mess all started. How did it start? You mean one day these three people sat down and decided to take some land for a park? Or did the Kohr's bad history of unpaid taxes play a part? I'm not being facetious. I am seriously trying to remember. Anybody know?
