Springfield won’t hold a special election, to replace Mayor Devlin. Mayor pro tempore Ward 3 Ald. Frank Kunz will take over as acting mayor until a new mayor is named within 60 days. Springfield will hold a election for mayor, in 2011. The primary will be on Feb. 22, and the race has four Republicans, two Democrats, and two independents. The top four vote-getters will advance to the general election, which will be held on April 5.

[ Well at least he didnt do it in front of a camera like Budd Dwyer. ]
If every dishonest crook politican had as much class as ol’ Budd after getting caught with tyheir hand in the cookie jar we would have far less problems in this country today.

I’m guessing because there is no political affiliation listed, he is (was) a Democrat?

Seriously, this was a mans life... Clearly, he made some bad choices and who hasnt...but, to somehow take joy in the fact that he was at such a low point he could not see any redemption or reason to go on, isnt really something about which joy should be taken. Sometimes...I just dont get how you people think...there is so much more to life than political sides. And democrat or republican...this is really a tragedy.Well said.

who did he cross???

We first had the METRA commissioner who threw himself in front of one of his trains in February. Now this. What in the hell is going on in Illinois??
That entire state is controlled by democrats. You would think that any dem there could do ANYTHING and get away with it.
What a sad and cowardly event. I would have respect for him if he would admit what he did and accept the responsibility. That is was a responsible man would do. But then we are talking about democrat politicans here.

This is clearly a mistake. The Mayor of Springfield is Diamond Joe Quimby.
