    The amount of public #corruption is already at unbelievable levels. We must figure out better ways to root it out and hold public officials accountable.

    #Bribes, #kickbacks, #grifts, #emoluments, or #gratuities — whatever you call them — will eventually destroy us.

  3. The second & LAST #SCOTUS ruling for today is in Snyder v. U.S. The opinion is 6-3 w/ the court holding that federal #law does not make it a #crime for state & local officials to accept #gratuities for past acts.

    James Snyder formerly served as mayor of Portage, Indiana. He was convicted of federal funds #bribery in violation of 18 USC § 666(a)(1)(B) for soliciting & accepting $13k in connection w/the city's purchases of garbage trucks, among other federal #crimes.
