    As was the case in Vermont, elected officials in Oregon assumed the best in their colleagues. This situation left a hole in ethics investigations when the state really needed them in recent years.

    That factor, along with terrible political finance laws (49th in the U.S.), landed Oregon an F in government integrity. The public’s access to state records should also be greater.

    This is a rare post with some redeeming value. Although even so it would have been a lot more useful if you'd linked instead the source for your very very brief article:

    https://publicintegrity.org/account...-grade-in-2015-state-integrity-investigation/

    which explains how the scores came about.

    Thanks. Apparently that was my source's source.

    Much more complete, more grades, and much grimmer for Oregonians.

    An overall D among the 50 states.

    Decades of Dems in control with their organized graft, populating of agencies with criminal cohorts, and a refusal to enact even basic laws or oversight.

    Oregon's own S2 has always been tainted with payola...50 bucks to ban someone..the nerve! 100 dollar bets that never get paid!

    Republicans are so clean on the other hand.
