Three Alabama Scandals- Cameron Eisenberg

Article- Governor Robert Bentley, accused of affairs with a former staffer and using public funds to hide it. Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, accused of using government power to obtain favors to benefit himself and his business. Chief Justice Roy Moore, accused of ignoring federal ruling about same-sex marriages. All three of this Alabamian men are being accused of said crimes at the same time. All three are powerful men from their states. 
Analysis-  This is just sad. This kind of behavior is the reason why politicians are stereo typically untrustworthy. This is just like the Watergate scandal with Nixon, or Clinton`s affair with the women in the White house, A public official misuses power and lies about it. How are we supposed to trust our Representatives and senators and other government officials?
