Column: Criminal element well represented in Illinois Senate – Champaign News-Gazette*

Jim Dey: "For those keeping score, four current or recent members of the Illinois Senate have pleaded guilty to corruption charges or are facing trial. Last week’s federal indictment of former state Sen. Sam McCann demonstrates again that when it comes to allegedly pursuing self-interest, Illinois’ rough-and-tumble politics is more bipartisan than some might think."

We really don’t get articles like this from Chicago newspapers or Chicago based TV news outlets. We get a re-hash of articles from AP, NY Times or Washington Post. Very informative,thanks!

Absolutely agree. I feel like I now subscribe to NY Times via my Trib subscription. So little original reporting any more.

Cancel your trib subscrpition. Stop feeding the beast. Hire the unemployed former ‘journalists’ to walk and groom your dogs.

I know I should do it, but John Kass keeps me hanging on by a thread.
