3000 pages of graft and corruption that none of them read, but from which most of them will profit personally. Illinois, the PhD Master Class on legalized Gubbermint theft of the taxpayers. Not one SPENDING CUT as usual.

I notice that they did this after 2:00 a.m. so I presume that this particular piece of drunken legislation took place in a 4 o’clock joint.
