Frank Mackaman for Governor!

In my last post I stated that it would be great if Frank Mackaman was chosen as the next Mayor of Pekin.

Forget that!!! I mean, he’d be great as mayor again. However, there’s a much more important office for him to take on, assuming Blago gets his just desserts … governor of Illinois!

Mackaman would be the perfect choice. He’s extremely competent, even-tempered and familiar with the intricacies of governance. He did a fantastic job putting Pekin back on the right track after the Lyn Howard debacle. Who better to fix Illinois?

Not really … but that’s an entertaining thought, isn’t it?

Illinois is experiencing interesting political highs and lows this year. One of our U.S. Senators is elected president, but then our governor is arrested before he can sell Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder.

I “love” this quote in the Tribune from Robert Grant, FBI special agent in charge of the Chicago office:

If [Illinois] isn’t the most corrupt state in the United States, it’s certainly one hell of a competitor. Even the most cynical agents in our office were shocked.

Isn’t that nice?
