    Not in California, but If I suspect my local officials are accepting cash under the table, how would I go about exposing it?

    Is there a way to trigger an IRS audit or something like that where the corruption gets dragged out into the open?

      I think this past year especially has shown us that exposing bad shit happening is no where near enough. They’ve realized they have zero consequences because we don’t [redacted]

        This, unfortunately. Even when the local news reports on corruption (which is rare because they’re also part of the problem), nothing happens. A mayor in a nearby town to where I am got exposed for taking kickbacks from businesses to get exempted from regulations.

        That mayor was then reelected. Shouldn’t even be allowed to run for office. Should be in jail. But the cops would rather terrorize the homeless. The burger-brained Americans affected by this think small business owners are the most important people in our society so the corruption is good, actually.
