Everybody Wants In ...

From TPM Reader PC in Nevada ...

Our governor was recently cleared of an FBI investigation, but he is in the middle of a messy divorce with his wife, and he faces a lawsuit for shoving a woman in a parking garage. Our Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki was indicted last week. Fully six former members of the Clark County Commission, the most powerful board in the state (it encompasses the Las Vegas Strip) have been indicted or are in jail. The LA Times did a series on our awful judges in 2006. We had a state senator who was also (at the same time) head of the mining association. We have a state senator who's head of anti-union contractors group.

I have a reams of other examples.

Then there's our rich history of mob ties.
