Opinion
This Governor is clearly corrupt. I think that he has some sort of addiction to money. I mean we all do to an extent. Most people want more money but when you go out of your way, break the law, corrupt your purpose in the U.S. Government, there is a problem. I don't understand why all these wealthy people are trying to get more and more money. They are so greedy and take and never give back. Which is a serious problem with our economy because the wealthy are not filtering the money back into the economy.
