Now Arizona wants its day in the sun, courtesy of TPM Reader JB ...

I'm disappointed you're leaving out Arizona in your catalogue of corrupt states. Like NV, we too have a rich history of mob ties; Joe Bonanno lived for years in Tucson, and in Phoenix several years ago the mob killed Don Bolles, a reporter for the Arizona Republic, when he got too close. We have a congressman (Rick Renzi) currently under indictment; we led the nation by having two members of the Keating Five (McCain and DeConcini); in the past 20 years we lost two governors to corruption (Evan Mecham was impeached; Fife Symington resigned after indictment); and many members of the AZ Legislature resigned during a sting operation in the '90s.
