Illinois Senate President Don Harmon faces potential $9.8 million fine for improperly accepting campaign cash – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

The calculation of the potential penalty emerged only days after the Oak Park Democrat attempted to pass legislation designed to wipe away the election board case and the potential penalties, a maneuver stymied amid bipartisan backlash only hours before the spring session adjourned. The developments take on an added political dimension because of the looming federal sentencing of former Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan in the bribery-related ComEd scandal.

Pretty obvious Harmon broke the law to collect the ‘campaign donations’ in a non election year.

The DOJ should look into what appears to be willful fraud, and then an attempt to cover it up. Also, who gave all the $M’s?
