Look at your federal government people! You all act like corruption is a new invention. Every state has someone who is corrupt just some of them haven't hit the spotlight yet.

With today's news I certainly think we have earned the title of Most Corrupt. Certainly not proud of it, but Illinois has not been on the innocent list with our former gov serving time.

THANK YOU CURRENT AND FORMER GOVERNORS OF IL!! You made me feel so much better about my state since we only have one former governor in Federal prison, Edwin Edwards who also was a Democrat. I can honestly say I never voted for him.

I've lived here all my life. I think most of the population is somewhat oblivious to the pay to play corruption......as long as things "work". Chicago is supposed to be the city that "works". Nobody cares who is picking up the garbage, whether it is Mayor Daley's nephew or Joe Schmoe, as long as its picked up. That's my sense. I don't say its right. I do think things might be changing now. Chicago and Illinois in general is now in the spotlight about this and its not pretty.

i lived in Chicago area for several years, and my husband was born there. If we had the choice to live in a big city, Chicago would be the one. It is terrible that the politicians have to behave in this manner and give such a wonder place a bad name. This governor sure needs some mental therapy for thinking he could get away with such a wild scheme.

MODERATOR: The TOPIC IS Illinois CORRUPTION. The topic is not religion nor other states or a forum to bash political parties. Everyone familiar with Chicago understands The Machine. If youwant to discuss general politics there is a Political Forum for it. Otherwise, please stay on topic.

The only other option is to close the discussion.

New Jersey is pretty clearly ahead of Illinois in corruption. And hey, we don't have judges sentencing innocent children to youth detention centers in return for bribes from the people running them. As far as we know, anyway.
