DEMOCRAT Illinois governor up for re-election facing criminal probe

DEMOCRAT Illinois governor up for re-election facing criminal probe. Must be something in the water there… something like untraceable cash in paper bags.

  • That is a requirement in the land of Illinois...

    Illinois Criminal code, Section BS12-091.41 (a)

    "Any and all prospective office holders and candidates for any political office in the State of Illinois, it's cites and towns, must have met the following requirements:
    Been convicted of a class 1 felony such as bribery, corruption, or extortion.

    Registration as a child molester, or sexual abuse of farm animals will count as only 50 percent of the aforementioned requirement.

    Convictions for weapons offences, murder or manslaughter meet the requirement for political candidates for the City of Chicago only.

  • Why don't they just take the Illinois governor straight to prison directly from the inauguration. It'd save a lot of time and taxpayer money.
