ScopeEye Posted December 28, 2019 at 03:32 AM Share Posted December 28, 2019 at 03:32 AM He'll recover it, he's as crooked as a 1 x 2 from Home Depot Anyone who thinks a guy that cheated the state from property taxes by removing toilets from home will just give away 3 million is in for a surprise...Think about it.

ragsbo Posted December 28, 2019 at 03:35 AM Share Posted December 28, 2019 at 03:35 AM I don't like it either. The funds spent for government should be allocated by the proper authorities (legislature) with instructions how and where that money is to go. Him paying it out of his pocket (that is something I am very suspicious of= who is actually giving it and why) means that the check and balance system is not used. It is more of the same ole crap- I got money so I do what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mab22 Posted December 28, 2019 at 02:28 PM Share Posted December 28, 2019 at 02:28 PM If you donate money to the state doesn’t it have to go to the general treasury fund or can you say I want it to pay for the most confiscatory corrupt bureaucracy that you can think of?

lockman Posted December 28, 2019 at 03:32 PM Share Posted December 28, 2019 at 03:32 PM Those receiving the money are state employees getting compensation from a private entity. Big conflict of interest. It is no different than George Soros or the Koch brothers paying the salary. What would the reaction be if we found out that a billionaire was paying a million dollars a year to The president because he felt he wasn’t being paid enough? When you look at the underlying principle it’s the same. ^ this *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carry Posted December 29, 2019 at 02:28 PM Share Posted December 29, 2019 at 02:28 PM Bribery under the guise of a supplemental pay check. Flynn nailed it with RICO. Check out Michael Dowd https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dowd_(police_officer) This guy supplemented his paycheck with money and drugs from a dealer in return for protection, robbery of competition, raid tips, etc... got 12 years. NYPD 75 district. Do they work for the state of Illinois or JB? Under cross examination theyâll probably answer, both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Posted December 29, 2019 at 04:04 PM Share Posted December 29, 2019 at 04:04 PM The Governor's staff are employees of the state and should be serving the interests of the state. If Pritzker is paying them, they're serving his interests, not ours. Maybe this is legal in Illinois but it sure as heck shouldn't be. On the other hand, if he really thinks it's good to allow private citizens to buy better service out of state government, maybe he should make it possible for everyone to do it. If I could slip the DMV guy a fifty and get whisked to the head of the line next time I'm renewing my driver's license, that would be great. Come on, J.B., take a Sharpie to those bribery statutes and make us all happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted December 29, 2019 at 04:58 PM Share Posted December 29, 2019 at 04:58 PM Jackhole can't pay them more than state allows for the position. PS - Dems no longer go to jail. See, eg, Crimesha, Hillary and Biden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
