Cullerton’s complicated exit: disgruntled aide muzzled after money went missing – WCIA

WCIA's examination of financial documents, interviews with top lieutenants and staff, and an investigation of his private business dealings reveals that behind the scenes, his caucus was devolving into a tailspin and his campaign operation was already in tatters. Whichever of the 39 other Democratic senators should replace him in January will inherit a thorny tangle of ethical and legal headaches, as at least three sitting members of the caucus are either facing federal indictment, under investigation, or wiring up for the FBI.

As Gomer Pyle would say “surprise, surprise surprise!” To think that Rich Miller was singing Cullerton’s praises just the other day. Surprise, surprise surprise!

Just watch, the FBI will let him get away by intentionally making a weak case. I have no hope that the FBI cares a bit what democrats do here. The FBI itself is a partisan swamp.

Missing funds, messed up campaign funds (he ran uncontested iirc), lobbying, fallout from his campaign director, connections to a shady bank, investment in mob restaurants, family members under indictments. The existence of a $100,000 CD to pay a legal retainer if he’s indicted (if something happens to me he says).

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses.

There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
