Needed: A challenge to Jones
Monday May 5, 2008
Improving Illinois government will require more than just unseating Rod Blagojevich as governor. The arrogant Senate President Emil Jones must go too.
Last Thursday's disgusting display at the Illinois Statehouse – a Senate vote to deny citizens the right to vote on adding a recall provision to the Illinois Constitution, plus Senate President Emil Jones' outrageous insistence that he and other lawmakers deserve more money ("I need a pay raise. I need a pay raise," he told reporters) – is another sign of the need for big changes in Illinois government.

Evil (Emil) Jones does NOT deserve a raise, he DESERVES to be sent to the UNEMPLOYMENT line, ASAP!!! I have never seen such ARROGANCE, it must be a "family value" of CORRUPT CHICAGO politicians who are secure in their elected office!!
I'm sure that Emil does NOT want a recall amendment to the (Illinois) constitution because he might also suffer the consequences along with his buddy Blago.
These political HACKS are DISGUSTING!!!
