How Gov. McDonnell's Guility Conviction, Should Spark a Change in Michigan. Will it?

What Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's (R) Conviction a mix of Corruption, Ethics violations and Bribery charges means?

Michigan needs tighter Governmental Corruption Laws:

1). Skunk-works
2). Andy Dillon working as a "Consultant" for Conway-Mackenzie - Creditor in the Detroit Bankruptcy Case -- after signing off on Detroit' Bankruptcy while working as State TREASURER.
3). How Right to Work for Less was brought and paid for by Dick Devos
4). P.A.4 of 2011,then P.A. 436 of 2012 and who is handing out contracts to whom?
5). Cousin George Snyder in the future Business -- getting paid off OUR tax dollars
6). The Detroit March to Bankruptcy highly questionable Email Chain of Richard Baird.
7). The Educational Achievement Authority --- ALL OF IT. The Deficit Budget, Teach for America "Teachers?", John Convington - The "Chancellor" that booked out of town after one year, the 25% drop off rate of students in one year, failing MEAP/ACT/SAT Scores, recruiting students out of district -- on purpose with data that usually the Michigan Department of Education only has, all while we the taxpayers are paying for this.
8). Nerd Fund
9). Nerd Fund 2 --- The Emails
10). The Aramark Correctional Food Service Contract - Quid per quo? While State Prisoners eat maggots and Aramark is "fined" $250K (The Contact is worth $25 Million).
11). MHSDA Director Scandal costing US thousands of dollars.

Yeah, we need better ethics, corruption and bribery laws in Michigan.

However, you one is African-American and last name Kirkpatrick (the former Mayor of Detroit serving 27 years or so in Federal Prison)....well -- our laws work quite well on the books NOW depending on how much melanin exist in the persons' skin.
