I don't know if any of you have been following this story. Unfortunately this is my hometown. We are a small town. No wonder we are broke. I drive past her house everyday.

since this is the OT forum, I'll ask..otherwise I wouldn't
in light of this do you support other politicians from IL? say like the current President?
just wondering? and sort of new to forum. and learning to fish..
She akin to Blago?
Well welcome to the board, you will glean a lot of information about crappie fishing in here. All we ask is you not to ask about what fishing line is best...mono or braided, dragging chains is a no no, arguing about barometric pressure might stir up some sheet. Other than that, there are some mighty fine folks in here.
We like to argue about politics in here. You will not change anyones mind, though you will find some like minded people.
On the religious stuff...the name of Jesus scares the hell out of a lot of goats in here, somehow the moderators pick and choose religious topics that is allowed to run its course..depends on if they like your liberal or conservative slant or they will just wish you will go away.
Don't take it personal if a post or thread of yours get deleted or moved. Canepole has had as many threads deleted than those given to his credit.....Sorry Mr. Tom, I couldn't help myself

such as staying on topic..and not bashing anyone personally..that's why I left my question open ended..just trying to learn what others think.
I hope I do learn much about fishing.. I love to be out on the water.

I believe in the "checks and balances" form of gov`t WHICH incidently is designed (when even half heartedly USED) to PREVENT exactly this sort of GROSS abuse of PUBLIC TRUST. Unless there was about complete total INCOMPETANCE from top to bottom in the local government (mayor, council persons, local representatives, auditors, trustees, ect) someone else WAS "in" on this...and again, unless those responsible can promptly REPAY every penny WITH INTEREST, well then, get convicted, have your 2 appeals in 5 yrs, and upon losing them, it`s DYING TIME...
Illinois is know for corupt politicians, including the current top administration. I should restate that statement. North of I80 is known for producing corrupt politicians.
Politics reminds me of this......:deadhorse& banghead
