POV[edit]

I have added a POV tag because almost all of the people listed here are Democrats. Few Republicans are included. Johnsagent (talk) 06:50, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Johnsagent, do you have any Republican examples that are missing ? If not I will take the flag down. I dont see any POV on the page that I've visited today for the first time (=independent)--Wuerzele (talk) 03:19, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. One problem is the narrowness of what can be included. By the article's definition all staff, secretaries, deputies, etc have been excluded, these are the people who usually do the dirty work. Another problem is the exclusion of such crimes as perjury. But as I read the terms defined by the article:
  1. CO Representative Douglas Bruce (R)
  2. IN Secretary of State Charlie White (R)
  3. IL State Senator Vincent Leibell (R)
  4. IL State Senator Nicholas Spano (R)
  5. NC State Representative Stephen LaRoque (R)
  6. OK State Representative Randy Terrill (R)
  7. PA State Representative John M. Perzel (R),
  8. SC State Treasurer Thomas Ravenel (R)
  9. VA Governor of Virginia Bob McDonnell (R)

have been excluded. And that's only those that are all fairly recent. I would added these myself, but I find the matrix format hard to navigate and the alphabetical listing annoying. Johnsagent (talk) 19:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your prompt response. If you have all the necessary info for the table ( refs etc) I dont mind adding them. You can sort the table so dont need to enter by alphabet. I think your observation of the narrow def and resulting bias is important and needs to go in the page.--Wuerzele (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You can get all that from the same place I got it from, List of federal political scandals in the United States and its companion List of American federal politicans convicted of crimes. Note that the convicted article has also removed most of the Republicans.Johnsagent (talk) 07:37, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Add Sheldon Silver?[edit]

It seems to me that the Sheldon Silver case should be added to the Legislators section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Silver

I'm not too familiar with table formatting, or I would have done it myself, but if someone with those skills agrees, perhaps they can add it.
