What about if it's just government waste/corruption mostly? Who is going to be able to hire someone to say that with such authority that things change?
EG: We find out that 30% of road costs are being wasted by nepotism/contracts given to mates. I just can't imagine how it would work that someone could point it out and anyone would even care.
If the county hired him, he wouldn't get any coverage.
If the state government did, they would probably just bury it to cover their own ass.
The federal government maybe, but then you have issue of jurisdiction and dealing with 50+ audits at once and trying to explain to every state voter about what is happening in their state.
Only other option is independent watchdogs or companies but it still like it would be almost impossible to be even get a proper view of the real corruption from that angle as the government would never let you close enough to the deal making process.
In the end, I really don't know how you can overcome the losses due to government corruption unless voters make significant changes in their behaviour. That or just wait for a whistleblower to blow the lid off it all in some spectacular way.
