That whole area of Maryland around Baltimore has been ground zero for
corruption since I was old enough to remember. That is where Spiro
Agnew came from and he was the reform candidate.
Second place was the 4 or 5 counties in Southern Maryland where they
had slot machines but it was a different kind of corruption. The
southern maryland corruption was just what happened to the money
skimmed from the slot operation and the way they handed out licenses.
(Basically pay to play). It wasn't wide spread systemic malfeasance
