Child porn charge doesn't stop ex-Elgin lawmaker's state pension

SPRINGFIELD — A former state lawmaker who is accused of trading child pornography online has started collecting a state pension of nearly $15,000 a year — an amount he bumped up by purchasing credit for time he didn't work.

Execution is too lenient, but appropriate.

It’s like a machine. It has to be made to do (or not do) things. It doesn’t know anything of shame or pride or honor. That’s what law and wisdom are for.

My reaction is... why are we surprised it does NOT “stop” the pension. Something else needs to be done if “stopping” it is a condign penalty.

My simple plan will solve this problem. NO PENSIONS OR OTHER POST-SERVICE BENEFITS FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

That being said this man seems to be a dirty old pig and I hope he spends the rest of his days in prison.

This guy is just ahead of his time. Before long, his fellow travelers will sweep away all of the laws that make this sort of behavior illegal. They will demand and get access to our children and grandchildren so that they can be “instructed” in the wonders of being their sexual toys. Anyone who disagrees or tries to stand in their way will be convicted of hate crimes and put away in prison.

True Detective was a work of fiction, but it showed how the powerful are able to do whatever they want to the powerless. The characters portrayed in that series are alive and well and among us today in politics, the law, law enforcement, education, and as leaders of youth groups.

Child porn traders are Democrat protected animals. This is a sign that there is more to come.
