Not all corruption is blatant theft, of course. Anyone noticed the salaries being legally paid to officials and staff? Kathy Jackson was on a grouter. So much so that when the union offered to parachute her into the the senate, she refused the pay cut.
A bloody secretary being paid more than a senator? I think we all agree senators are overpaid. no probs! was the reply, we'll make up the difference. [These are Kathy's own words, near enough] How does a union legally continue to pay someone no longer on staff?
I think Williams was on $180k way back then but I'll admit that that is rather vague.
