Chicago News

The Chicago Sun Times files for bankruptcy, joining the Chicago Tribune, which filed some months ago. I hope we don't become a one newspaper town, or a no newspaper town--we need as many watchdogs as we can, however imperfect, to clean up corruption in this city.

Notably today, confirmation that former Illinois First Lady Patti Blagojevich is the subject of grand jury deliberations, hearing testimony about her multiple real estate deals with convicted felon Tony Rezko, (our President Barack Obama's money man and personal real estate good fairy). Patti's spouse Gov. Blago is expected to be indicted as early as Thursday.
