9. I forgot about him. Thanks for the update. As far a Kontagiannis, he should read
what he signs, especially when it pertains to him doing time.

6. I have very mixed feelings about Blago.
I was pretty sure that he would be found guilty only of lying.

I know there will be appeals.

8. The Blago case reassures us
that no matter how corrupt you think your local government is, Chicago is still da gold stannerd.
