That sure is true here in Illinois. I don't know ir any other state can be as corrupt as this one. So far the Chicago City Hall is under investigation by the Feds and they're not just going after the little folk, they're going after the big players like His Honor D'Mar Himself, Richard M. Daley. They just convicted a bunch of his buddies this past year.
The current Governor is also under investigation by the Feds for hiring scams. While the previous governor is going to rot in jail for his own set of scams.
The Speaker of the House has had some shady business deals in his home county our here where I'm working for the summer. They haven't gotten to him yet, they're still concentrating on Abraham who decided to put money in his freezer.
If you've got connections, like anywhere, but especially here in IL, you got yourself a city or state job.
Is anywhere else as #$(%*&^$~ up as here?
