Quinn's Pay to Play Porkulus

Daily Herald with more on our new Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's appointment of his and Rezko's pal--Jack Lavin:
Illinois residents have heard a lot about how Tony Rezko used to do business.
Cash, clout, bribery, extortion... that's his business.

And one of his old business partners is Jack Lavin, who he helped install as head of the state's slush fund used to reward state businesses and keep them thriving. (officially the Department of Economic Opportunity)

But Lavin also has a past with new Gov. Pat Quinn. And Quinn is so confident that Rezko's business didn't rub off on Lavin that he is putting him in charge of those billions of dollars coming in from President Barack Obama's stimulus package.
Yup, pay to play on steroids with the porkulus bill. Governor Quinn has the "utmost confidence" in him, "a man of integrity".
