Secretary of State (of Illinois) Paul Powell left several
million in shoeboxes. Before he died, the State of Illinois had a "good government" essay contest named after him.
But my stepdad (a trucker) and many others knew the truth. We were told always to write "Secretary of State" and never "Paul Powell" on any checks for drivers licenses, etc. He actually took those checks home and cashed them for himself. At $5-$15 per check - typical in the 1960s, that would be about a million checks that got diverted. Obviously, the bank cashing the checks also had to know.

I agree with you, however when it is all about race, the failures become about race as well.

“People are not defined by the color of their skin.”
While that should be true, it is not. Just ask the current USSC nominee and the current first family.

I am black and I think that Obama will be the worst president since Jimmy Carter. Also I know many other blacks who feel the same way.

The left destroyed an entire RACE through welfare. Now it’s the Mexicans turn, as blacks have not been able to breed quickly enough to ensure democrats of incontestable elections. Of course all taxpayers need do is FINANCE the whole thing and endure the crime, drugs and 13 child, fatherless families! Evidently this is part of that “richness of experience” we are supposed to believe makes some people better judges!

Lloyd, thank you for the work you do helping people upwards instead of keeping them suppressed. America is the land of opportunity for all, and that message needs to be laid out for all to see. Hard work, education, character. Not an end in itself, but the best means to an end.

1 billion dollar federal reserve notes, anyone?
My daughter was recently in Zimbabwe and brought back billion dollar bills as well as 100 trillion dollar bills.

Here are 3 examples of "Hispanic" people. Sammy Sosa (Afro-Dominican) Ricky Rubio (A Spaniard) and Alberto Fujimora (Japanese-Chilean).

All of them are "Hispanic".

Please dont lump all black people as supporting Sotomayor or BET.Sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. He made a generalization. Sure, there are black people who don't toe the Sharpton/Jesse/NAACP/BET line. But with Obama getting something like 90% or more of the black vote, one has to say that it is generally true that most black people did/do support Obama, Sotomayor and his policies.
Sorry, but it just gripes me when I see someone take a generalization as meaning EVERY SINGLE PERSON. Obviously the author did not intend to mean EVERY SINGLE BLACK PERSON. If he did, then his article was pointless.

The story behind the big trucking money that Powell raked in was that my father won a Tire Company in a poker game and talked Powell, Choate and the man he won the business from into opening up tire sales to trucking companies. After Powell's death, the 4th partner in the business, the bad poker player ended up in prison over the tire business.
I was just a kid but had my eyes opened to Illinois politics and all politics as far as I'm concerned. There is no honorable men in the halls of power, money and greed.
Paul Powell's wife, Daisy, told my mother “if the old S.O.B. dies you need to get to his closet in his room at the St. Nicholas hotel in Springfield.” She knew where the money was but she died before him. The woman Marge Hensley that was with him when he died was his long time secretary and mistress, who Daisy knew of and fought against. All these wives of politicians know whats going on. So sad.
