Two Seton Hall professors write that NJ doesn't deserve its reputation as the most corrupt state government in the US. They say NJ "does not even rank in the Top 10 of ethics-challenged jurisdictions". The Department of Justice has a "tally of the quilty, per capita"; a list of "convicted officials per million residents per year". On this list NJ is number 15 behind Florida, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio and Illinois.
