tr, there's been a bunch of numbers flying back and forth - if you could clarify -

for your "corruption percent" equation,

the percent corruption is a percent of total income for the city, right? (everything on the plus line of income including e.g. administratiive, and nothing on the negative side?)

what was your correlation coefficient for the regression line?

in summary, it's very clear that it's only related to distance, yes? (barring governor's corruption retinue or traits)

thanks!!
