Description

The up to date political landscape of Virginia bears little resemblance to the past. The commonwealth is a nationally influential swing state alongside stalwarts like Florida or Ohio. But with increased power comes greater scrutiny–and corruption. Governor Bob McDonnell received a prison sentence on federal corruption charges, later vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court. Corporate influence on the state legislature and other leaders led to a large number of ethics violations. Scandal erupted on the prestigious University of Virginia when the college ousted its president amid political drama and intrigue. Writer Jeff Thomas reveals the intersection of cash, power and politics and the corrosive effect on government in a brand new era.
