A sad day for Illinois

Some folks may be cheering that the feds finally caught up with the gov, but I’m not among them. All I feel is sad as the state faces another sorry chapter in a history of corrupt politicians. It was bad enough with George Ryan, but then the guy who promised to end pay-to-play politics looks like he not only kept the tradition, he enhanced it.

It doesn’t matter what party you belong to, days like this make all politicians l look bad. There’s enough cynicism about our elected officials and days like this add to that cynicism.
