I used to work with a guy who was from northern Illinois--since retired--who maintained that they had the most corrupt government and police forces in the United States. I kind of thought he was exaggerating some of his stories but maybe he wasn't.

Your friend was wise indeed! The murder rate in the city is now far higher than it ever was back in the days of Al Capone and Bugsy Moran, yet the sheeple continue to return the crooks to office.

Did you know that the Chicago politburo, a.k.a. city council, is more than 50% composed of people appointed by King Daley, the vacancies being caused by aldermen convicted of crimes and removed from office?

And the dirty little secret is that some GOPers are neck-deep in the "Democrat" corruption.

I am from Illinois. Here we consider a politician as honest if, once he is bought off, he stays bought off.
