 | "Our
Private Legislatures — Public Service, Personal Gain,"
Center for Public Integrity, Diane Renzulli, Meleah Rush, John
Dunbar, Alex Knott, Robert Moore, Ken Vogel.
The judges wrote, "The
Center for Public Integrity decided to investigate conflicts of
interests involving state legislatures in all 50 states. To
proceed, it obtained the financial disclosure documents of all
state legislators and compiled them into a master database. The
result: an eye-opening project that disclosed that more than 20
percent of state legislators sat on committees charged with
regulating the legislators’ professional or business
interests. This is the first comprehensive look at all state
legislators in one place and the interactive nature of the
project allows voters to see for themselves how their lawmakers
measure up." |
