I’m not sure if I have a greater likelihood of ending up in prison if I had a hobby in theft or larceny, or if I was an incumbent Illinois politician. It’s becoming harder to tell the difference.
As former Ald. Ricardo Muñoz (22nd) was sentenced to 13 months in prison, I was reminded of the public corruption that our state continues to tolerate. Corruption seems to have been part of Illinois even before 1818, the year our state was admitted to the Union.
