Alabama Politicians Score Low For "Integrity"

Fairhope, Alabama 

Alabama state flag
A recent study by the Center For Public Integrity gave Alabama politicians an overall D+ for integrity, including an a F in two categories analyzed: Public Access to Information and Political Financing (clk).

The lack of an effective means to enforce public access laws and strangely-named PACS used to disguise campaign contributions were red-flagged as examples in the report.

The state ranked higher for 'Internal Auditing' and 'Executive Accountability' however (B+); 'Ethics Enforcement' agencies did a little better too, receiving a C-.

Things are not as bad as it looks a first glance though, since most other states did far worse.

(Most state laws and standards apply to local governments as well)
