I hope you are being factious. He needs to go to jail, and there shouldn’t even be any discussion about pensions. Acting crazy after being caught buying your girlfriend a Rolex watch with campaign contributions does not equal “Resigning for health reason”. Another Chicago thug working the system.

Just another Chicago thug will take his place.

Illinois's prison system has quite a few "elected" officials gracing their facilities. I gues that's one thing they do well, elect criminals.

The article says jail time is inevitable. Now we can argue how much is enough but they seem to think he'll spend some time behind bars.

I think it’s that they when they find out they are criminals the good people of Illinois put them in prison instead of some states that just leave them in office.
