I'm hoping to come up with some ideas here because the local Republican Party here in San Diego seems to be especially corrupt even by the standards of the rest of their party. In the last year we've had one mayor resign for cooking the city's books in order to hide massive financial obligations, two city council men arrested for accepting bribes from strip club owners, and one Congressman convicted of accepting bribes to rig defense contracts. I'm guessing the Republican Party's lock on local power has brought about a great deal of arrogance among that party's local elites. that said they keep winning elections dispite each new revolation about their corruption abeit some of the recent ones have been razor close (the Democrat lost by just 50 votes though there was a question about electronic voting machines being hacked and not counting votes correctly).
Does anyone have a viable solution to political corruption? Any other city having near this much trouble with corruption among the ruling elite? 5 year ago I would never have suspect that'd we'd have Chicago style corruption in this city but the local Republicans seem to be as unethical as it gets.
