Bloody-handed Corruption

Crunch time for reform in Illinois. Tribune editorial. John Kass:
If you want the Illinois Reform Commission legislation to pass, if you really want some sunshine in the sewer that our state has become, then you pick up the phone and call Madigan at 217-782-5350. Don't be a cow and kick the stall in anger.

In a calm voice, tell the person who answers Madigan's phone that you'll never vote for his daughter. That's the only thing that'll get Mike Madigan's attention.
(And from me, tell them Mrs. O'Leary sent you. How's that for some rabble rousing) Sun Times. Carol Marin. Daily Herald.

And Sunshine Review.
