A favorite marketing newsletter's lead story today originates from Slate: Why is Chicago So Corrupt? The Slate author provides tips on how to measure corruption. Acronyms like ROI, ROE and ROMO come to mind:
1. check the number of convicted local officials (Cgo would rank lower than LA or Miami)
2. check the number of city employees per 1,000 people (bif payrolls = patronage)
3. check to see how long it takes to get a construction permit through (delays = system of bribery)
4. measure constiuent perceptions...if they view corruption as a fact of life, they're more likely to forgive those who trangress
