Well, well, well

Well, well, well...

The chief ally of Governor Bloodsucker Blagojevich on the monstrous gross receipts tax, Senate President Emil Jones, has a special interest in keeping the governor sweet. His sweetheart is bringing home the bacon. Tribune:
Soon to marry one of Illinois' most powerful politicians, Lorrie Rickman Stone was promoted to a new state job in September 2005.

Two months later, she wed Senate President Emil Jones (D-Chicago). And two months after that, her salary had soared by nearly $70,000.

The Blagojevich administration created a special salary class for only her position, so the psychologist -- now Lorrie Rickman Jones -- saw her pay rise from $116,460 to $186,000, a 60 percent increase, the Associated Press found after a review of state documents.
Jones & Jones, feeding at the public trough.
