Roland Martin on Political Corruption in Illinois

The fact is, the vast majority of politicians in the Land of Lincoln are well-meaning people who truly care about the public trust and don't sell their office to the highest bidder. But when you have future politicians raised in the "Chicago way" or "Illinois way" of how to be a politician, it is reasonable to expect to see this kind of stuff.



Dear friends,

With all of the recent talk of corrupt politics in Chicago, along with the "tale-no-prisoners" mentality of media hype from Ann Coulter-types, it is refeshing for me to be able to share (if you have not read it yet) an informative and thoughtful piece by the very formidable Roland Martin, regarding the aforementioned controversy. Cheers!
