Opinion: Illinois corruption wins if the players change but the rules remain the same – Chicago Sun-Times*

Matt Paprocki, of the Illinois Policy Institute: "Take the 891 convictions for public corruption that have occurred in Illinois since 2000. That’s nearly one public corruption conviction per week for the last 20 years. It’s not any one person’s doing and I’m skeptical that the 892nd conviction will solve our problems. If, instead, we change the system, we change the future of Illinois politics."
