A recurrent theme in this blog is the consistent nature of corruption in Metro East St. Clair County. One of the few bright spots for the area was the appointment of Miriam Miquelon as US Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois. It seems she is stepping down. No reason given yet, but it might be due to pressure or she planned to step down in the next year, but wanted Fitzgerald to have influence over her replacement before he left office. More later, I’m sure.
