Update: U of I Vet Scandal

John Ruberry, Marathon Pundit has been driving this story and holding the pols accountable. Scandal update on the U of I program for vets:
The B-shool then rescinded on some scholarship offers--then un-rescinded some (after Quinn and Emanuel got involved) then rescinded some more.

After the dust settled, about 35 veterans, not 110, received scholarships for the 2006-07 school year. The balance, university officials promised, would be awarded over the next two years.

Well, it's year two, and I have received credible allegations that far fewer than the expected number of veteran scholarships were awarded to Illinios veterans this year.
More here on other local media getting on board. Thanks John for your efforts for our veterans.
