Elected officials being given things that nobody else is given is the definition of corruption. If you think these clowns are giving these tickets to lowly "constituents," I have a bridge for sale. These same people spend thousand and thousands in campaign funding for suites in Tiger Stadium.

Nobody is debating that. Giving them something of value to garner favor is the very definition of corruption. I'm sure you could find many Tiger fans who would pay to get first dibs on tickets while not having to wait in line. That gives this monetary value.

Congrats on your cursory understanding of ethics.

You idiot they weren't given the tickets. They have to BUY them.

You need to go public with this shocking revelation. Which legislators? How many thousands?

Again, oh mighty galactic crusader, they have to purchase the tickets. Then you have to be able to draw a direct quid pro quo to prove corruption. Can you do that?

Who would these pure and innocent Tiger fans have to pay to not stand in line? What is the going price? Is this how its done on your home planet?

I think you would be best served if you stick with zooming around in your fantasy universe.

Merriam-Webster defines Corruption as: "dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers)"

What are they doing that is either dishonest or illegal?

See the above definition.

Be outraged that legislators are getting access to tickets after almost bankrupting the school is one thing, but your definition of "corruption" is incorrect.
