[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1395096, member: 25776"] CF: It has been my observation over 33 years of federal civil service that there is more corruption at lower levels of government than at the federal level. I have no empirical data to support that. If you find a credible study that refutes my observation, I will take it into consideration. It has been my observation that lower levels of government are more susceptible to bribery, extortion, embezzlement, graft, patronage, nepotism, etc. Interactions between officials and citizens at lower levels is on a more familiar basis. IMO that familiarity breeds corruption. PS: My post that you responded to presented the historical thesis that states have a poor record of implementing and enforcing environmental law. For that reason, the Congress of the United States placed the mantle of environmental protection on the US EPA. I made no other assertions or judgements about states' rights or states' sovereignty.
