Toni Taxwinkle runs that jails and the corrupt court system. BJ is in the media yapping barking and yipping but Toni Taxwinkle is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Homan needs to put Taxwinkle an her sensible shoes into prison. Likely she’d enjoy it.
There’s a lot to be said about a man not afraid to tell the truth.
Please, please, please Mr Homan arrest the malevolent law breakers Mayor Johnson and Gov Pritzker – They both belong in Marion next to Madigan.
