Will update as news comes in.
Springfield won’t hold a special election, to replace Mayor Devlin. Mayor pro tempore Ward 3 Ald. Frank Kunz will take over as acting mayor until a new mayor is named within 60 days. Springfield will hold a election for mayor, in 2011. The primary will be on Feb. 22, and the race has four Republicans, two Democrats, and two independents. The top four vote-getters will advance to the general election, which will be held on April 5.
Boy would I like to write what I thought....nope, got better sense. How about, correct peg, wrong hole.
[ Well at least he didn’t do it in front of a camera like Budd Dwyer. ]
If every dishonest crook politican had as much class as ol’ Budd after getting caught with tyheir hand in the cookie jar we would have far less problems in this country today.
I’m guessing because there is no political affiliation listed, he is (was) a Democrat?
Well said.
"Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun, he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way."
Yeah, he shot himself... in the back of the head-—twice.
This is the insensivite thread. I think there’s another one for posters that mourn this yellow @$$hats self-chosen execution to deny the public seeing his corruptocrat self is the pokie.
He must have been paid a visit from the “Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come” ... and got “Scrooged”!
We first had the METRA commissioner who threw himself in front of one of his trains in February. Now this. What in the hell is going on in Illinois??
That entire state is controlled by democrats. You would think that any dem there could do ANYTHING and get away with it.
What a sad and cowardly event. I would have respect for him if he would admit what he did and accept the responsibility. That is was a responsible man would do. But then we are talking about democrat politicans here.
Really? Do you have a link for that? Or is it just snark?
Deck the wall with Dalvin’s body... Fa-la-la-la-lah, La-la-la-lah!
‘Twas his stealin pools of money... Fa-la-la-la-lah, La-la-la-lah!
Gone, he now will face his peril... Fa-la-la, La-la-la, LA! LA! LAH!
Blowed his brains out with gun barrel, Fa-la-la-la-laaaa... La, la, la, lah...
SNARK! But then, who knows... since we have no details from the boys in blue.
RINO
He’s probably doing his thing in Houston now...unless he got plugged.
Snark is always good!
RIP.
“dispute with the IRS” [Thank you John W]
Good old IRS, and right before Christmas too. Even corrupt politicians? Is anyone safe?
Throw a copy of a tattered Constitution on top of the cash and you have a Perfect Picture.
