Given the billions of dollars Illinois taxpayers have paid into corrections, mental health, DCFS and other state service agencies, one wonders why they don't already meet industry workload
standards, whatever those may be. Maybe all the money is going to fund those thousands of low-demand, high-pay patronage jobs currently filled with Democratic patronage employees.

And if AFSCME plans to request more staffing for DCFS today, perhaps the Legislature should hold off until we know the fate of the pending bill mandating that the state's child abuse hotline send all its reports to the local police. Apparently, this bill reprents a no-confidence vote for the agency's child protection arm, which reportedly badly mishandled a Peoria-area
case recently. This would certainly represent
a significant reduction in DCFS' workload. Maybe we need less money for DCFS and more for the police. But we shouldn't have to pay for both.

DCFS and IDOC need more front line staff (and support staff in general)? What a revelation. But both agencies sure seem top heavy with under-qualified staff in KEY positions.

SNAFU.

What's up with the person in a "DUCK" costume following RGod around accusing him of "Ducking" the issues? Has anyone heard or seen this yet?

It is difficult to believe a scorned lover who goes to the Oberweis campaign with 2 weeks left in the campaign.

I just can't believe that fool Kovarik would humiliate himself like that.

My prediction is that Obie and Giddy will cancel each other out and the pecking order remains similar to the Tribune poll.

Rich, anybody.

Is it just me or did the Blago interview by the AP, that was also in the Tribune, just not seem to appear very important to the political climate in Illinois? It can't possibly be true that our Gov. thinks the people of Illinois don't care about ethics? Did I misread it, or has Blago really, finally drifted away into another reality? Strange comment.

"He (Blago) contends most state residents are more concerned about education, health care and other issues than about ethics."

The 500,000 contribution from EE's mother is being reported in the papers. Do people think that hurts him a little because it reinforces his effete, snooty stereotype, or not?

Rich ---- we have been laughing most of the day about jimRYANS endorsing the AccordianGal and almost missed BrickheadJoe rushing in with the results of an audit sought 14 MONTHS AGO and throwing some employee into the slammer.
Sounds like MrProsecution was about to get nabbed for more bungling. Good work BrickheadJoe.
Wonder who in that massive office let this one get by? I know. Let's blame it on Jemisch
