Busy week, so the site will be updated somewhat inconsistently. For a couple good articles Talk Left hits a couple Illinois issues well. First, she reports the story that G-Ry was secretly recorded by the Feds. This isn’t so much a surprise as much as an indication to how close they are to him now.
Second, my New Yorker is sitting unread, but Scott Turow has a significant piece on death penalty reform. As a member of the reform commission his insights should be interesting.
