This from Illinois. Identify the crooks and either put them in prison
or in public office. Either way there will be someone watching them.

Yes, there are honest politicians in Illinois. They just have to work
harder watching the cooked ones. The crooks that get voted out of
office no longer have the spotlight of public scrutiny. They are now
free to use the information gained in office to drain the treasury.

Think about it. Politics has the highest unemployment. Only half the
candidates get elected. What happens to the ones that don't get
elected?

And finally, this question. What is the difference between the Boy
Scouts and a Town Council? Adult supervision.
