I was surprised at the level of public corruptioin here in El Paso. Judges, lawyers, councilmen, supervisors, etc are willing to risk their careers and jail time for taking a $500 bribe. But that's here where the culture of corruptioin is huge. I never would have thought that Philly judges would risk their careers for free car repairs and videos. Amazing.

Philly leans left, right?

Ya think.........Yep it does. Philly is largely what keeps Pennsylvania fairly solidly Democratic.

I can only assume "Parking Wars" uncovered this.

I am guessing you know from experience. Given that you don't work in any of those areas, can I assume you offered the bribe? Maybe free cable?

Along w/ the Jerry Sandusky coverup, no judicial corruption really surprises me.

The leftist platform is solidly built on cronyism and corruption.

It's probably because they think there are "above" everyone else and the threat of actually getting caught and prosecuted never even enters their mind.
