Transaction? We call it a "bribe" here in Illinois.

This is old hat in Illinois. We have watched Republicans with land deals related to the Tollway Authority, Democrats with land near proposed airports (or certain Sainted Senators - hint, his name rames with hack o'rama - who want to add a tad of land to the ol' luxury home) and both parties with anything to do with property the IL Secretary of State leases.

I congratulate the LAT for bringing the matter up - but why so coy?
