Public Corruption Impacts Us All

Public corruption is something we all should try to fight. I got the following excerpt from the FBI's website in order to demonstrate the serious need for all of us to stand together against public corruption.

Public corruption can take funding away from your child's school and even prevent your street from being re-paved. Police who take bribes endanger your neighborhood. And guess who ultimately foots the bill for these crimes? We all do...through higher taxes. The Government Accountability Office estimates that at least 10 percent of the funding for federal government programs is lost to public corruption and government fraud every year. We're talking tens of billions of dollars

If you know of any instances of public corruption, in your state, please contact the FBI.
