Isn't it amazing how tied this election is to local politics? Because Fitzgerald (R-Ill.) might be in a position to break up the political junta that controls this state. The Republicrats don't like that. It makes them sick. If George Bush becomes president, Fitzgerald will be poised to appoint the new U.S. attorney of the Northern District. The U.S. attorney has subpoena power and can put together a federal grand jury to investigate the graft and deals at City Hall, the Cook County Building, he airports, and state deals too. "Whoever is the U.S. attorney needs to apply the law in all areas, whether it's political corruption or organized crime or violations of pollution laws," Fitzgerald told me in a telephone interview the other day. The U.S. attorney is the most important office in Illinois. And it comes loaded with racy options that can be used against the boodle kings.
