I’m particularly cranky because I happen to be stuck at O’Hare right now, on a 3-hr delay, regretting for about the 10th time routing thru Chicago. The good guv’nr would rather play the modern Kingfisher, exercising corrupt backroom leverage in railroading the video game industry than fix his friggin airport. He is again finding a tyrannically corrupt way to hamstring business. His “deep pockets” bill designed to fleece businesses in court, his pantsing of the gaming business, his record-breaking tax bill, which would make Illinois businesses the most taxed in the nation by percentage…ironically, maybe the law itself will bring down this maniac. Probably makes the older Illini long for the Al Capone days.

Isn’t spending funds without authorization embezzlement? Will the governor be charged? Or will he have to repay the funds?
