This is Illinois, Baby! We're used to this kind of stuff by now, right?
Well...the *truth* of the matter is: we shouldn't be. Voters should demand better.
This morning, the Daily Herald reported that another elected official - Democrat State Representative Keith Farnham - is in potentially hot water.
From the story:
Federal officials searched state Rep. Keith Farnham’s Elgin legislative office and home Thursday, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys office in Chicago said.
Spokesman Randall Samborn said a search warrant was executed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations officials as part of an “ongoing investigation.”Some of the chatter going on around the web, it seems that the investigation might (that's a big might!) center on the ownership of some material on his computers.
