Mississippi Is the Most Corrupt State, Says a New Study

The New American reports:

Based on the number of convictions for violating federal corruption laws, Mississippi — a state with just three million citizens — ranks at the very top of the list of all states, according to a recent study. Two college professors published their report in the May/June issue of Public Administration Review.

They studied more than 25,000 convictions of public officials across the country for violating federal corruption laws, and even though Mississippi has a population of just three million, it topped the list for convictions compared to all other states.
