Going unsaid in all this is a failure to look at the political donations made by Favorite Staffing to politicians. They also need to look at look at the people Favorite Staffing hired that billed exorbitant hours or billed hours for being on standby. Were these people related to any Illinois politicians?

If you can’t read it here because of paywall, go to Real Clear Politics under editorials. Typical IL corruption. Who owns Favorite?
