“The government of Illinois was once run by the mob, now the Government runs itself like the mob.”

Since now the whole world is looking into Illinois Politics, I have some things to say about it. Since I live here in the Great State of ChicagoIllinois, I can explain some things.    The arrest and the allegations against  Rod “the Bod” Blagojevich is not surprising.   Illinois has always been one of the  most corrupt states in the nation, and  most people remember the times of Al Capone, and think that that is in the past.   Well, Illinois is still run the same way with Kick Backs, Bribes and intimidation, the only thing is now theGovernment of Illinois has taken over the role the Mob played in Al Capone’s days.

We have had 3 of the last 7 Governors behind bars, and Blago looks like he will be the fourth.   First we had Otto Kerner, who was convicted on 17 counts of bribery, conspiracy, and perjury.    Next we have Dan Walker who was convicted of banking scandals.   And who can forget George Ryan, who illegally sold licenses and contracts.   And what do all of these Governors have in common????    It is not political party, 3 were Democrats and one was a Republican.   I will give you a hint, they are not from down-state.    They are all from the Chicago area which is run by union bosses and the mob.   But in Illinois, the government runs itself just as the mob, without the murders, except if you are in East St Louis.

Illinois has had a long history of corruption, and hopefully this new scandal involving “Rod the Bod”  will shed light on the corruption of this great state.   But as with all the other governors we have had go to jail, we still elect these criminals into office.   I guess all the dead and dogs in Chicago have something to do with it.   But it is more than that.    We as citizens of Illinois have lost our voice and control over the elected officials.  We had a chance in this elections to have a new Constitutional Convention to change some of the rules that keepincumbents in office for life.   But we passed on that and will keep on having the same criminals run this state.

Before posting this I would like to express my condolences to the Durbin family. Their eldest daughter died over the weekend.  I have met her before when I was a child at a neighbors house, but really do not remember it.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.  With that said,I am still supporting Sauerberg.  I do not think he really has a chance in Illinois,but I have to vote my conscience.
