[M. Dodge Thomas]

If this law was passed here in IL, and could somehow be enforced against the Federal Government, and Federal authorities had to alert local LE to corruption investigations, corruption would be completely out of hand - Federal investigation and prosecution is effectively the *only* check on corrupt LE and it’s “Friends in High Places” in this state.

[Logical me]

Then it falls on the people of Illinois to make sure they are informed and take necessary action to eliminate the corruption with their vote. Cannot have everything both ways or we will stay the way we are with less freedom and less voice an any part of government. What do we have now? Corrupt local and corrupt Federal and we now have so little say that we are almost lost.

This is exactly spot on.

If our local authorities here in Illinois were the only check valve, Cicero or Chicago would be running the state.

Remember, this is a senate bill, which means the dems have something to gain by this.

I am against any senate bill at this point, I don’t trust the bastards.

Imagine if the feds needed Daley’s approval to have gone in and wire tap Blago? It would have been leaked to him in a heartbeat, and the wiretaps would have for naught.
