Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) and her chief of staff were indicted Thursday on charges of conspiring to take bribes from construction contractors seeking city assistance for development project. Austin is the third active alderman facing federal criminal charges. Alds. Patrick Daley Thompson and Ed Burke face charges in separate scandals
Carrie Austin’s corruption is peanuts compared to Daley Family, compared to Clinton Family and Rahm Boy, compared to Biden Family. Peanuts! Kitchen cabinets and sump pump as bribes worthy of Fed prosecution? Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.

So where is IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul? In a target-rich environment like Illinois you would think that the IL AG would be stacking up corrupt politician convictions like firewood. Yet instead……crickets?
This is Raoul’s life work, and he’s just getting started. (This was his campaign commercial, remember?)
Or maybe he hasn’t started yet, he’s still too busy intervening in Trump’s court cases on the other side of the country. Orange Man bad!

I’m concerned about the City Council to Prison pipeline. The Chicago City Council is a collection of street trash, mopes and drug dealers. We’re surprised they steal? That’s why they ran for alderman…to steal! They want to serve the community or their country! After all the altruistic shimmy shammy, they’re only in it to steal.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Raoul is just a puppet for the lords, and he shall do as he is told or off with his ?
