Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exposà of governmental corruption in the state of Illinois by the author. In early 20th century Illinois, politicians were taking advantage of the fact that laws against receiving gratuities or special appropriations from corporations or entities that had business dealings with the state were difficult to enforce. Public outcry over this issue led the author to investigate misappropriations of state funds, excessive mileage claimed by legislators, and a number of padded payrolls in this book. The author not only paints a grim picture of unscrupulous politicians, but also examines the historical and legal context that allowed such corruption to permeate the state government of the time. The author examines the laws that were supposed to keep graft in check and discusses politicians' methods of skirting those laws. The author also provides information about the politicians involved and their roles in these schemes, which makes for an interesting and surprisingly modern political drama. The author's account makes this book a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the history of political corruption in America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332073719_0
