Jeff Berkowitz writes about a potentially quick lawsuit against the irresponsible pension/budget ponzi scheme supported by our lackluster State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson:
Topinka has referred this debt issuance issue to Attorney General Madigan and hinted someone “from the outside,” perhaps someone on one of the affected pension boards, might file a lawsuit on this issue, even if Lisa does not bite. Judy Baar said she expected AG Madigan to act independently, as she said she has in the past, of her father- Speaker Mike- who apparently was the deal closer, if not architect, of the pension deal.Topinka also said, “This budget may not be a done deal,” and she implied the outcome on the debt issuance issue could affect her decision to run for Governor. Topinka said she would decide this summer if she will be a candidate for governor.
Also, State Rep. John Fritchey, in whose district Governor Blowdriedovich lives, has apologized for voting for the pension/budget sham:
"I wish I hadn't voted for it. I'd like to apologize to the people of Illinois for voting for it. But again, the Democrats made a decision. The alternatives that were out there -- an income tax increase, an expansion of gaming, deep service cutbacks -- none of those would have set any better with the general public," said State Rep. John Fritchey, (D)-Chicago. (Hat tip: Rich Miller)
Can anyone imagine Jakobsson having the courage, intelligence, or leadership to say something like that?
Yeah, me neither.
The Fritch even has the seat Blago vacated in the Illinois House(with his 1996 successful Congressional run).
