Default My state is more corrupt than your state-Massachusetts, FTW!

Gotta love this state. And on this thread I'll update the various corruption scandals as they come up. Or at any rate as best I can, since there's so freakin' many.

In any event I submit MA wins on not only a per capita basis (total pop only ~ 8 million, plz keep that in mind) but also on an absolute basis.

So, kick back and enjoy. If I get really into it I'll look at old stuff, but I doubt it'll come to that. So much fun in the here and now.

1970s era Dukakis (or maybe Ed King?) propaganda campaign bumper sticker:


There was also a funny satire of it, but I can't find any images. Too bad.

Firefighter On Disability Also A Bodybuilder
BOSTON (WBZ) ― Boston's fire commissioner is urging the city's retirement board to deny the disability claim of a firefighter who competed in a bodybuilding contest even though he claims he can't work because of a back injury.

Albert Arroyo, 46, reported that he fell down some stairs in the Jamaica Plain firehouse on March 21 and reinjured an old back problem. According to retirement board documents, no one was there when Arroyo fell. His doctor wrote that Arroyo should be granted an accidental disability retirement because he is "permanently disabled."

Yet on May 3 after collecting his full $68,000 annual salary tax free for six weeks, Arroyo finished eighth in a bodybuilding competition. Video of the competition surfaced and shows the supposedly injured Arroyo flexing his muscles for the judges in a black Speedo. "If you can do that, you can work here," said Boston Fire Commissioner Roderick Fraser. "If you look at Mr. Arroyo, he's in better shape than most guys on the Boston Fire Department."

Dianne Wilkerson says she can’t afford lawyer
By Laurel J. Sweet
Monday, November 17, 2008 - Updated 14d 9h ago

State Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, whose checkered career crashed last month when an FBI photo of her allegedly stuffing $1,000 into her bra was made public, now tells a federal judge she’s too poor for her lawyer.

Attorney Max D. Stern is sticking by Wilkerson, however, and Friday asked U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Timothy S. Hillman to appoint him the charity case.

I think votes for both were the among the first I ever cast, when I turned 18 in 1982. I'm not 100% sure Kennedy was up for re-election that year, but if he was I'd have voted for him. 1982 was Frank's first election, he took over the seat of a priest ordered to step down by the Vatican, of all things. Frank was also not yet publicly flaunting his anal probing ways, though I believe there were rumors.
