My question exactly. Don't know how many Illionoisans we have on this thread, but Illinois has had a major scandal re turning people loose to drive semi's whose licenses were paid for and who could not read or speak English. We natural born citizens could never get away with this crap. Ahh Yes. The famous George Ryan money for license scandal. Notice how the Feds never did bust him for it? His penalty was that he couldn't run for re-election. Never mind that Ryan's criminal activities led to numerous highway casualties caused by illegal aliens that had no business driving a truck or, for that matter, being in our country to begin with.
The thing that separates Illinois corruption from other states is that Illinois corruption is so well organized by Daleys machine and the power brokers inside in the Illinois GOP. And our politicians take pride in that.

Yep, hitching up my overalls - not too many states can match the million+ in cash found in Paul Powell's shoe boxes when he died. Now those were the good ole days. Oh, and PP was what now? Thaaats right a RAT.
