Heaven forbid we let Illinois outshine us

Just yesterday, I got a little note in my inbox from an analyst who works for an advocacy group:

"I guess i just don't get what the fuss is about in Illinois - Richardson is as bad or worse and it is just business as usual here."

This commentary is pretty normal I find here in the state. Most people think that if we're not a "pay to play" state, we're just short of it by an arm wring or two.

What a day. My Gmail chat window was dead as a doornail until about noon. Then it lit up like a Christmas tree...all my reporter friends making a mad dash for their computers.

Bill...say it isn't so.
