SEC nails Illinois, but the snake slithers away - Al Lewis - MarketWatch
Makes me wonder if I could run for office on the promise that I won't end up in jail.
Quinn was not governor when all of this happened. Rather, it was Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who retired to a federal penitentiary in Colorado.
Blagojevich, who was not mentioned in the SEC’s action, was convicted on fraud in an unrelated case, including allegations he tried to sell President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat. One potential buyer for this seat, according to federal prosecutors, was then-Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who recently pleaded guilty to felony charges after standing accused of misusing campaign funds.
Jackson, of course, was only following in the footsteps of other renowned Illinois politicians, including former Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, whose career ended in 1996 when he pleaded guilty to mail fraud.
It has long been common for Illinois politicians to retire to a prison setting. George Ryan, governor from 1999-2003, was convicted of racketeering. Dan Walker, governor from 1973-1977, pleaded guilty to bank fraud. Otto Kerner, governor from 1961-1968, was convicted of bribery.
