Corruption in Illinois & Our County State's Attorneys [View all]

Illinois is arguably the most corrupt state in the country.

One reason?

State's Attorneys in Illinois are embedded with the county's political machine which put them there. Complaints against their cronies are dismissed, ignored and lost.

Read an outstanding blog which provides information on some of our State's Attorneys and the friends they keep.
