The Most Corrupt Town in the Country

When the police stopped Luvina Mobley Smith, they found a pound of pot in her car and five EBT food stamp cards which drug dealers often take in payment for drugs. It would have been an ordinary enough story except that Smith, despite being a convicted felon, was also the Deputy Clerk of Alorton.

Luvina is the daughter of Callie Mobley, Alorton’s former mayor, who had collected double her salary and served time in jail for income tax evasion. Mayor Mobley, who had been the mayor of Alorton for two decades, had been doing the same thing back to her days as liquor commissioner.

St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly warned, “Alorton City Hall is becoming a criminal narco state at the expense of the citizens of Alorton.” Alorton, an African-American village run by Democrats, may actually be the most corrupt village in Illinois and the United States.

Almost unbelieveable until you realize its in Illinois. More here:

When I think of corruption, I think of Illinois. .. and vice versa.

Sounds like a typical black run municipality.

I'm shocked.

Can't be DC, tho I'm sure it ranks up there. Most of the corrupt people in DC only visit it for 1/2 a year, then go back to their own states.

I think the award goes to Bell, California.

The small town, covering 2.5 square miles near Los Angeles, with a population of approximately 38,000 was one of the poorest cities in Los Angeles County. Roughly 90% of residents are Hispanic or Latino; many do not have a high school education and the unemployment level is 16%.

The City Council, City Manager, City Administrator and Auditor rigged elections to change the law and then gave themselves salary increases of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in a city where the median income was in the high 20K's and 1 in 6 live in poverty. They ended up stealing several million dollars from the public coffers.The Police Chief was in on it too. The greed of these "public servants" boggles the mind. They actually jacked up property tax rates so they could steal more...atrocious.
