Pols: Worry about state, not careers

I am so happy our politicians in this once-great state of Illinois have thrust this state into not only the limelight, but the national limelight. Watching Roland Burris on CNN and some of the other 24-hour news channels was disgusting. Everyone feels they are right. I only wish these same politicians were as concerned about the poor condition of our state as they are about their own careers. Just this morning with less than an inch of snow, 16 cars piled up on the Eisenhower Expressway into Chicago. I drove on state Route 83 at 10 a.m. and it was a sheet of ice. This state does not care about the public safety, they are to worried trying to cover their tracks in case of a bigger investigation. It is a very sad state of affairs in this, the second-best state in the union.
