Illinois has a chance to enshrine its long history of corruption.
Former Illinois Secretary of State Paul Powell made headlines for the $800,000 in cash stuffed in shoeboxes found when he died. For more than half a century, a Powell-established $250,000 trust sustained his legacy. But the account that maintained his birthplace as a museum will soon run dry.
The IRS, lawyers, and the state of Illinois took their cut of Paul Powell's ill-gotten gains, and the rest of his estate has been used to maintain his home in southern Illinois as a museum for his memorabilia . But that fund has run out. Paul Powell's home may go on the block. Four of Illinois's last ten governors have gone to prison, three Democrats and one Republican. It says"LAND OF LINCOLN" on state license plates, but perhaps there should be fine print below:"HANDMADE BY A FORMER GOVERNOR."
