edit to add the Tribune's take on this

In Springfield, a state representative accused of accepting a $7,000 bribe returns to the Illinois House, sitting quietly among his fellow Democrats and shaking hands.

In Chicago, a former head of the police sergeants union pleads guilty to stealing more than $1 million in union dues to fund steakhouse dinners, gambling jaunts to Las Vegas and a second home.The Link

Whatever level of government you have, problems come into play whenever someone starts to think it is their money. Same is true in business.

Corruption happens in business but they still have to sell their product.

Government is supposed to be the keeper of the community and we have not choice but to give them money. We do have a choice on how much we give them, some want to give more and some want to give less.
