Seeing the money line everybodies pockets is clear as day to anybody even passing through. Taxes increase extreme amounts. Cook county (Chicago and many of the surrounding towns) have over 10% sales tax now. Yet you drive down any road with fear of pieces falling off your car due to the extremly huge potholes, small sections of road work that take months to finish (One piece across the road from my house that was 1/4 mile took 3 months.) The toll system on the highways was supposed to end many many years ago, but it keeps on going and gets raised, where is that money going... with his big ol useless name above every booth. Illinois is the lowest and one of the lowest states in many areas of education such as the discrepency between rich and poor schools becasue the state will not fund education, can't get much of a kickback from the poor educational system, no point in giving them more funding.
Watching the people get screwed and him with his extremly low paying $177k a year job (he says he makes pittance)
His stupidity never ceases to amaze though. He has known for quite some time that he is being investigated for several things yet he continues to talk freely about it all. They've even got him telling somebody on the phone that they are listening all over :rolleyes:

He would have done well to adhere to the old adage: do not bite the hand that feeds you.
