“Jaw dropping” corruption: HBO Movie Director says Ohio is “manipulated against the popular will”.

A new HBO documentary about the notorious house in Ohio Bill 6 has put the political corruption of the state in the national spotlight. The Oscar-based director Alex Gibney provides a devastating assessment that today's hosts say in Ohio Podcast what they have been discussing for years.

“We know how corrupt our state legislator is. Due to a documentary about HBO about the corrupt HB6, many people outside of Ohio now know how complete our legislation is,” said Chris Quinn and demonstrated the topic to the podcast.

The documentary, directed by Gibney, examines the 61 million dollar -best -exploration scandal, in which the former spokesman for the House Householder and Firstergy are involved. According to Laura Johnston, who discussed the film in the podcast, Gibney chose the story “to illustrate corruption because he was so brave. He called it JAW.”

What makes the director's perspective particularly valuable is his outsider view, which brings fresh eyes into a political system that many Ohioan have got used to. His verdict was split: “He said that the system is now appearing in Ohio against the popular will against democracy. It is a problem, but people don't seem to be upset enough about it,” said Johnston.

The documentary illuminates how the decision of the citizens of the Supreme Court of the US citizens who were once regarded as corrupt have legalized. Johnston said that the current system is “basically a wink and nod. It is effectively legalizing bribery because everyone has to be chosen … Therefore they need money to be re -elected because money is power and money is language and money advertising.”

The HB6 scandal included Firstergy, who have approved officials, to secure a rescue package of 1.3 billion US dollars for its nuclear power plants. But today's hosts, ”emphasized that this was only an example of how special interests the political design of Ohio dominate and on current fights for sports betting taxes, laws of public records and guidelines for renewable energies as further evidence of the influence of industry.

Gibney was surprised that the Ohioans no longer outraged the level of corruption. He found that the referendum of the right to abortion was one of the few cases in which citizens effectively turned into the legislator, maybe a sign that voters can overcome the money-controlled system if they are sufficiently motivated.

The Podcast discussion, like money from different industries – resulted from sports betting companies to gas and oil to tobacco – flows to legislators in order to obtain cheap guidelines. The campaign financial system, Johnston argued, was the root of the problem: “If we want to get rid of corruption in the government, we have to publicly finance our elections. This is the only way around them.”

The podcast calls on the listeners to search for the documentary to better understand the corruption mechanisms in Ohio's politics, and perhaps to consider the extent of outrage if a system is confronted with an Oscar winner with which an Oscar winner was docky enough to play in a national documentary.
