Well whats new LOL i mean everyone that lives in Illinois knows it is corrupt.. same thing happens every year some high headed official gets busted.. but only 1 or 2 people at a time.. if they could bring down Daily then they would be BIG.

that's a pretty massive woopsie

The thing that makes me laugh is that's two governors in a row going to jail lol! Yeah if they ever got Daily that would be huge, but I don't think it's gonna happen. How much **** do they already have on him but never did anything. The guy is too connected!

Is there any country, state, municipality or borough in the world where most or all politicians are not corrupt? It´s part of the job. Expected from them similarly to horse-riding capabilities from jockeys.

You have no idea what happens around here, anyone connected to the "Chicago political machine" is tainted.

Do you have to give them 10 % of your fee straight into their pockets if they are to hire you to work for them? That is our local way. It applies from big companies to the smallest self-employed guy who just wants to make a living providing services to the gov institutions.
