Part of what characterizes any culture is its tolerance of corruption (or lack thereof). Prince Georges County has seen plenty of corruption over the years and has in many cases accepted it as part of how we do things. The county has gotten a reputation for shady, sleazy operations and as a result we've seen a lot of shoddy , poorly planned developments, dubious businesses and more crime than we deserve. Whatever the backgrounds of the politicians and officals who've been guilty of corruption we should develop a low tolerance for crooks and keep a closer idea on our politicians.
