Why is there no Report-A-Bribe website in the U.S., like some people started in India and China.?

Actually, the Chinese site was recently shut down by the Chinese government. It seems they had a problem with making the information public for all to see. You would think they would be grateful for the help, if they were fighting corruption.

Why does not a similar website exist in the U.S.? Does the U.S. government have a problem with the concept? Who/ or what would prevent such a website from being established in the U.S.?

Or has no one thought about it?

I think we need one especially for the corruption at local levels. Many towns are run for the benefit of a few families, with even state and federal funds funneled to the localities used improperly.

We need a similar website regarding how those funds are used, and also on how local government contracts involving state and federal funds are awarded.

.

The FBI has limited resources. It would be great if they could go after every case of government graft reported to them. But they cannot.

The problem of corruption at the local level is too widespread. In some areas its even become an accepted part of the culture.

To those who think the local police can help, think about who pays the salaries of the local police.

Corruption of government officials is a political problem.

But if people could learn on the internet what shady dealings are going on in their towns and cities, then you can bet they will be motivated to work for political change!

Before the internet, some newspapers actually did a good job of investigative reporting. You don't find that anymore.

What do you think about this idea?
