Chicago Politics: Blagojevich Is 4th Out Of Last 5 Illinois Governors To Get Indicted
Some fun facts from Tom Elia:
This makes for the fourth out of the last seven elected Illinois governors to be indicted since 1960 (Otto Kerner, Dan Walker, George Ryan, and Rod Blagojevich) … since 1972, 28 Chicago alderman have been convicted of crimes. If this number was extrapolated to the US House, it would be as if over 240 congressman had been indicted in the same period.
So do you have to be a crook to get elected in Illinois? Or does getting elected there just turn you into one?
