Answer 1

The correct answer is False invoicing in return for kickbacks

Basically, they took bribes for doing things others, and it was done on such a large scale that only 8 counties out of 77 in the state were free from corruption. By the time the scandal ended, 240 people were accused of participating in the system and numerous commissioners were arrested and trialed.
