The Chicago Tribune released this video regarding the Better Government Association’s Anti-Corruption Report. The report lists the nearly 150 people who have been convicted of corruption, what they did and how they did it.

The serious crimes include bribery, ghost payrolling and a myriad of other scams. This corruption has cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and has cost the county government a loss of public trust.

In this election year, now is the time to get involved and fight for reform!
