As the Roman historian Tacitus correctly declared: Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges, that is: When the republic is at its most corrupt, the laws are most numerous. How much more the case when the politicos and apparatchiks are so brazenly larcenous. Illinois and Chicago's expenditure (adjusted for inflation) has increased by about 80% while the population has decreased by 1%. Where did all that money go?! If it was distributed in a most equitable fashion, should not all of the plebs in Rockford, Naperville, Peoria and Cairo be much better off? Schools thriving? Roads, bridges, sanitation, and infrastructure better off now? Facts on the ground indicate no.

Thus, pace Champaign's own REO SPEEDWAGON, time is long overdue for me to fly.
