clean the Augean stables

To rid a place or entity of a massive or entrenched accumulation of something (often corruption). In Greek mythology, Heracles (Hercules) was tasked with cleaning out the Augean stables, which housed 3,000 immortal cattle and had not been cleaned in 30 years. The local government is utterly mired in corruption and abuse, so I'm skeptical when some newly elected official claims they're going to come in and clean the Augean stables. Is any gubernatorial candidate actually bold enough to clean the Augean stables and get our state government back on the right track? This is a very serious scandal at City Hall, but will anyone finally clean the Augean stables? Nope, and the lawlessness and nepotism will just continue.
