It seems as though too many people have their own future tied to government influence throughout the state to get real change. One note: Fitzgerald defeated Moseley-Braun in 1998.

While Edgar may have been clean personally he certainly knew what was going on and didn't ever try to end it. Consider Edgar's ties to Sangamon County Republican leader Bill Cellini. Cellini made a lot of money during the Thompson/Edgar years. It seems Cellini not only had remarkable insight as to where the state was planning new exits on the Illinois Tollway, but somehow he was remarkably lucky that his parcel was always adjacent to the one claimed by eminent domain for the new road itself. For some reason, Cellini's luck ran out during the George Ryan administration because during those years it was Cellini's parcel that would get taken by the state for the new road.

In this governmental era, Mr. Ness would be investigated for brutallity and trampling on the rights of the criminals. The only way to change the system is to continue to bring pressure form the outside onto Washington. We the People, need to continue to root out information, bring it to light through the internet, and communicate it personally to anyone who will listen. The solution is not the "system", for it is the thing that needs changed. Unfortunately the Elliot Ness's of today are not tolerated.
