Idaho D-minus in ethics

The 2015 State Integrity Investigation is out today, measuring hundreds of variables to compile transparency and accountability grades for all 50 states. The grades aren’t good; Alaska, which scored the best in the nation, earned a C, and only two other states earned better than a D+. Eleven states failed. Idaho got a D-, with an overall score of 62; that score hardly budged from a similar assessment published in 2012. Idaho tied for 26 th place among the states – up from 41 st three years ago – but only because other states’ scores declined/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.

Question: Izzit just me, or do all those GOTP/Idaho Freedom Foundation types who grouse about transparency and ethics in government tend to ignore the lack of accountability and failure to handle ethics problems at all 3 levels of government?
