*** “Alphonse Capone” Now there’s a good French name. ***

Chicago politics (and IL) was corrupt long before Big Al hit town. Like back to the Chicago Fire in 1871.
Even Wiki gives a 'fairly good' run down on it.

(You do know I was kidding about the French, but the corruption almost goes back that far.)
