[QUOTE=Schaumburger;286049]I have lived in Illinois since 1979. It is an embarrasment to Illinois that one former governor, George Ryan, has been in prison for about 3 years, and has another approx. 3 years to serve on his sentence, and now Gov. Ryan's successor as Governor has just been convicted of a felony, will most likely be retried sometime in the next six months, and will probably be serving a lengthy jail sentence. And to top it all off, Rod Blagojevich's defense fund is out of money, so the Illinois taxpayers will be footing his defense lawyers' bills going forward for the retrial. It's like a bad soap opera that never ends.
