Saturday, January 23, 2016 IL Auditor General reportedly doled out $213k to Happy's Super Service
SPRING VALLEY - Happy's Super Service Station in Spring Valley, Illinois, provided a reported $213,338.31 in gas and vehicle repairs over 10 years to Illinois' new Auditor General Frank Mautino, which has drawn national attention in Forbes.com.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars Mautino spent at Happy's since 2005 averaged about $20,000 a year. That's either a whole lot of gas or Mautino's campaign vehicles are lemons - all of them.
Mautino was a member of the House Speaker Mike Madigan's Democrat leadership, but now he is Illinois' new Auditor General - the person responsible for scouring Illinois' spending for any discrepancies.
Not only did longtime Democrats vote to promote their colleague to the Auditor General spot, so did Republicans - because their leadership pressured them to make Mautino's approval bi-partisan.
Now, Frank Mautino faces scrutiny not from political groups but from citizen watchdogs, Adam Andrzejewski writes in Forbes.

“Who watches the watchers?”
Republicans in Illinois are in bed with the Democrats, so nothing will be done.
“Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, said Mautinos appointment continues the practice of selecting a seasoned legislative professional to fill the auditor generals post.”
New cellmates for all of the ex-Governors.
Democrat or no, without further details this is a non starter.
Over how many cars? How many cards are issued in his name? Does he loan out his cards to subordinates? What is the breakdown of expenditures? Was he in charge of a motor pool, how many other qualified service stations did he pass up to go to this specific station?

Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
It’s easy to -

Nobody robs banks anymore.
The crooks go into politics or get a government job.
That’s where the easy money is.
I just heard that the biggest thing going for Bernie Sanders in Iowa is that the Dem voters consider income inequality the most important issue.
Scary.
A Happy ending?
Trump v Sanders would be a matchup for the ages. We would see what unprogrammed Iowans really think. This is one fun election. Hillaryous and The Bern for the ‘rats. The ‘rats are cornered by their own choices - the socialist and the totalitarian. Freedom of slavery. : )
