It is always fun to be ahead of the curve and declare what the next big scandal will be. In Illinois it is a bit hard since the current scandal is going to take up so much air time, who knows if anything else will get attention. However, after 26 years in the Governor’s office, the Republicans will be losing control of the Corrections Department and it stinks. A few days ago I mentioned the real problems and some conspiracy theories that you can take for what they are worth.
Carol Marin today points out the Corrections Department is in for a shake-up that is long overdue. It is pretty well understood that when that bureaucracy is opened up to some light, some very bad things will become known. If not overshadowed by the Ryan trial, we may finally finish the investigation into how Richard Speck could have had cocaine and female hormones–oh, and a video camera to boot.
