From pornographic email scandals involving high-level judges to civilian property seizure by Philadelphia police, Pennsylvanians are no strangers to corruption in their state. That corruption is resurfacing as multiple reports rank the state as one of the most corrupt in the country.

The Center for Public Integrity ranked Pennsylvania in the middle of the pack when it comes to corruption among states. The state earned a “C minus” — its “A’s” in internal auditing and procurement were brought down by failing marks in redistricting, political financing, budget processes, judicial accountability and a “D-” in lobbying disclosure. But when it comes to corruption on the books, Pennsylvania rises to the top.

A study by Indiana University and City University of Hong Kong ranked Pennsylvania as the fifth most corrupt state in the nation because of its high ratio of convictions to government employees. In the decade spanning from 1998 to 2007, 555 government officials in Pennsylvania were convicted on corruption charges. Researchers said that corruption is costing the state an average of $1,308 per resident every year.

“States with higher levels of corruption are likely to favor construction, salaries, borrowing, correction, and police protection at the expense of social sectors such as education, health and hospitals,” researchers wrote in the report.

Corruption surrounding candidates didn’t affect this past midterm election in Philadelphia. U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah easily secured re-election, even in the midst of a federal investigation as more of his former staff members admit guilt to fraud. Four other city Democrats currently under grand jury investigation for taking money from government informants were elected to the state House of Representatives.

Governor elect Tom Wolf announced that he is taking action to change Pennsylvania’s reputation and the reality of corruption in government. Wolf required his transition team to sign a code of ethics, which included what he referred to as a “No, thank you” rule banning employees from accepting gifts of any size, from a cup of coffee to an expense-paid trip. Wolf said that he plans to extend that rule to the executive branch and push legislation to ban all government employees, including elected officials from taking gifts.
