The study by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity graded states in 13 categories, ranging from political financing, to executive accountability, to procurement, to state civil service management.
According to the study, reported by USA Today, the least-corrupt state is Alaska, which only scored a C.
Although 11 states got Fs, the worst score goes to Michigan. According to the Center, Michigan’s state government is built on “an honor system with no honor.”

All of the corruption in both states come from welfare programs. That's the gift that keeps on giving. Without welfare half the states could cut their work force in half. Welfare WAS to give people a little help to get back on their feet. PERIOD!!! Not given illegally to non citizens. Not given to families for generations. Put limits on the time you can collect like they do unemployment.
