Delaware falling behind in the good-government competition

From the Wall Street Journal:

LOUIS CAPANO JR., a Delaware developer, paid extortion money to a county councilman in 1987 and 1988. Subsequently, he reported the matter to the authorities and cooperated in a 1989 sting against the official, who later pleaded guilty to extortion. A page-one article June 6 about Mr. Capano's donation pledges to two Catholic schools mischaracterized his role in the corruption case by stating that he bribed the official and escaped prosecution by cooperating.

I thought this stuff only happened in New Jersey.
