Gee... big surprise. Typical Illinois political corruption. Would have been nice if they'd done this four years ago before he was able to feather the nests of all his buddies
Notice that the rest of the rats are starting to run down the anchor chain? Any bets on when Pate Phillip and his minions go down? |

I still think that he was so involved in the Death penalty debate just to deflect all of this before he left office.
In the history of dirty Il. politics he has to go down in the books with the best of them, and that my friends is a very thick book.

the only reason that ex gov Ryan wanted the death penalty gone is that after he is convicted on a million counts of fraud, etc etc; he will be eligible  lol |

It'll be interesting to see if the weasel figures some way to weasel out of this. If not, I wonder at which "country club" day camp he will be forced to learn basket weaving.

A lot of CDL driving facilities supervisors got canned over the last few years over this. Basically, those people were forced to contribute X amount of dollars to the campaign (buying big dinner tickets..etc.), in order to keep their job. Of course, they also pocketed cash out of it too.
Now how about cleaning up the Sheriffs office? It's always been a hiding place for mob members who want to carry a gun 24/7 legally.
Or the correction officers who illegally possess/carry firearms on their person, and flash their "badges" to get out of tickets & harass others.
