Bipartisan legislation giving prosecutors new tools to identify, investigate and prosecute criminal conduct by public officials - including an extension of the statute of limitations and an increase in maximum penalties - was approved Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Authored by Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat and committee chairman, and Sen.

The perception of corruption - in combination with the arrogance demonstrated by congressional leadership engaged in name-calling and devaluation of voter opinion - supports this anti-incumbency fever.

Narrow definition of corruption
New Jersey's status as only the 15th most-corrupt state in the country doesn't justify "Smelling like roses" (Opinion, Page O-1, Feb. 22), particularly when the seven listed states all have bigger populations to fund it.
