clear 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 cleansing the Augean stables—which had not been cleaned in 30 years. The local government is utterly mired in corruption and abuse, so I'm skeptical when some new elected official claims they're going to come in and clear the Augean stables. Is any gubernatorial candidate actually bold enough to clear 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 clear the Augean stables? Nope, and the lawlessness and nepotism will just continue.
