Republican Culture of Corruption - Illinois

He served 8 years as Secretary of State, 4 as governor and now on trial. The term of service of George Ryan appears to be filled with graft.

The biggest corruption trial in Chicago in decades opened Wednesday with a federal prosecutor launching a blistering attack on former Gov. George Ryan, saying he betrayed the public's trust by taking cash and gifts to help insiders land lucrative state contracts.

``The fix was in in Illinois government,'' said Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon.


Just another fine example of what Republicans stand for.
