Another waste. Chicago deserves him though. Feel sorry for the good folks in Ill. Those outside of Cook County. Unfortunately that "sewer" runs the state.

I have to disagree. This is the guy who runs this State.

He does but he's also part of the corrupt Chicago Machine that runs the entire State. I say it's time to make Chicago either a county or at least a separate entity from the rest of the State and let it sink or swim.

Completely agree. I read recently that someone is proposing a new state-wide tax to help bolster the pensions of City of Chicago public employees.

I've wanted to move out of IL for some time, but the wife doesn't want to because our grandkids are here. But, if they enact something like this, it will be the last straw for me.
