I've always said that city government tends to be extremely corrupt -- moreso than state or federal government.

Here is a story of the worst of the worst:

Sadly, while Hampton, FL is probably one of the worst cases of city corruption, stuff like this is all too common in the US.

Many of you would not believe the staggering amount of money that is wasted, stolen, or steered toward crony companies from city government coffers. If you examined your own city government, I'm pretty sure you would find a lot more corruption than you might think.

BTW, if driving on US 301 in Florida, drive as slow as you can in the cities of Hampton, Lawtey, Stark, and Waldo, and try avoiding them altogether. They pull over a very high percentage of cars driving through, including some going UNDER the speed limit.
