It’s rather ironic to see all of these Democrats going down for tax fraud. I suspect the Pork Bill will fill the prisons with cheats and frauds.

Chicago Alderwoman Arenda Troutman, Another Corrupt Democrat

Former 20th Ward Chicago Alderwoman Andrea Troutman has agreed to plead guilty to a couple of the charges in the U.S. Attorney’s indictment.

Her plea agreement indicates that she admits to getting kickbacks of about $60,000. At least that’s the total that Sun-Times reporter Natasha Korecki added up. The government is seeking a fine of twice that amount, plus 3 years, ten months, to 4 years, eight months, in jail.....

“Despite this gross betrayal of the public trust - or as it’s called in here Chicago, being an elected official - we can thank former Ald. Troutman for this rhetorical gem:

“Most aldermen, most politicians are hos,” she said on one recording.

“They also might want to consider christening a “Chicago Aldermanic Wing” of the closest federal prison:”

Jail isn’t good enough. Make her pay restitution. Hit her where it hurts. Let her pay back every penny she took with interest. Is she eligible for a pension? Take it.

And I always thought Louisiana politics was the worst.

Chicago would be a great City if you rid it off all their politicians and start over.

Been there so many times. In fact, ran the Chicago Marathon in 06. Wouldn’t mind living there in the summer, but I prefer the south for the winter.

Chicago has a lot to offer, just wish they would clean up the politics and lower those democratic high taxes.

In order to save time, the newspapers should have a template set up:

has been sentenced to _____ years in the state

penitentiary, and ordered to pay a fine of _________________

along with restitution in the amount of ___________________.

_________________, a democrat, has been convicted of

______________, and has been a target of investigators,
along with co-defendants _____________________, ____________________,

and_______________.
