Title:  

Institutional Reform and State Government Corruption: An Analysis of Institutional Reforms Proposed by the Illinois Reform Commission

 
 Volume/Number:  2010 May 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  This paper will explore the changes proposed by the recent Illinois Reform Commission, many of which have been tried in other states. Within the political science literature there is much discussion on how these policies work. Recent polls in Illinois show that voters of the state are deeply dissatisfied with their state government (Crow, 2010; Leonard, 2010, The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, 2010). Thus, any measures which may reduce the level of alienation and distrust are worth examining. This paper will review the available and relevant literature on the Illinois Reform Commissions recommendations and apply it to Illinois in anattempt to weigh the possible benefits of adopting such policies.
