It seems are far from corruption, yet when they are running for office it seems that the opposing candidates can find what the other is doing that is illegal or wrong.

When they throw this out they call it muckraking... in this case. It seemed every election that is all that happened, so the people started forcing laws to send them to jail for some of things they did wrong. One is the sunshine law, where contracts being awarded had to talked about and voted one in open Forum.
