The cost to taxpayers of the corruption will be far more than the cost of decades worth of the pay raises to the legislators, and when it comes to lining pockets with cash, the Jeffco corruption participants are doing it illegally. But it doesn't garner the outrage for whatever reason. If you Google "<a href="http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=%22jefferson+county%22+corruption+sewer&btnG=Search" rel="nofollow">'Jefferson County' corruption sewer</a>," you get tons of hits, stories, FBI releases, DOJ releases, and so on. Those terms were off the top of my head, probably wouldn't be hard to think of ones that picked up stories that this search misses. Colorado Pols, no telling... but interesting observation! Thanks for the link. Walt, Dan, I don’t know.

If you Google “‘Jefferson County’ corruption sewer,” you get tons of hits, stories, FBI releases, DOJ releases, and so on. Those terms were off the top of my head, probably wouldn’t be hard to think of ones that picked up stories that this search misses.

I'm not a Jeffco resident, but it's still the first time I've heard about this and I typically hear the rumbles of Alabama's most populated county. Maybe most people who don't read several newspapers daily like me just haven't heard about it.
