Andy Kroll, a reporter with ProPublica, is being honored on Sunday for his investigative work on exposing ethically dubious practices among Supreme Court justices. The report uncovered Justice Clarence Thomas's failure to report expensive vacations and travel from a Republican mega donor and developer. According to the report, the justice of more than three decades traveled on a private jet, staying in luxurious facilities every year without disclosing the trips. One destination was in the Adirondacks on St. Regis Lake. Kroll, who previously wrote for Rolling Stone, focuses on politics, money, power and democracy. He is being honored with the Museum of Political Corruption’s Nellie Bly award Sunday at WAMC Performing Arts Studio, The Linda. I spoke with Kroll about the honor and the work that led to this this week.
