Seventh district Congressman Danny Davis voted with the majority of the House on Thursday to extend the Patriot Act by another year, breaking with his two prior votes against the Act and violating his IVI-IPI survey response claiming that he supported repealing the law. The extension, which was part of the Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act, passed the House with a vote of 315 to 97 and will now go to be signed by President Obama (who has worked behind the scenes in support of the Patriot Act).
All told, this is yet another blow to Davis' so-called "progressive" record and another indication that what he found unacceptable during the Bush years is suddenly very acceptable to him now.
SB 2466 has been introduced and it is now in committee. Help us by calling and adding the pressure. Let the phones ring! And remember to be tactfully respectful it goes a long way.
On December 4, 2008, the City Council voted 40-5 to lease the city's parking meters to Morgan Stanley. The vote was taken two days after the sale was made public and finalized. The lease agreement was disclosed to the full City Council on a Tuesday, with a vote taken on Thursday. How could 40 sitting aldermen, in good conscious, vote for such a complex transaction, without proper review? Mr. Mayor, your not even transparent with your own City Counsel, how can the citizens of Chicago trust that your being honest with them?
Illinois State Senator Dan Duffy discusses Red Light Cameras, his bill 2466 to ban Red Light Cameras in Illinois and the fact that this is about revenue for the municipalities and the private companies that run the cameras, NOT ABOUT SAFETY.
The 33-page study gives a history of corruption, starting from 1869 when county commissioners were jailed for rigging a bid to paint City Hall. It also details hiring scandals, including some under Cook County Board President Todd Stroger. Stroger hasn't been charged with any crime.
The report, titled "Corruption in Cook County" can be downloaded here.
Two other reports describing Corruption in the State of Illinois have been released by UIC in the past year:
