1.Ex governor Ryan is the other person im looking into about corruption.
2.Ryan was arrested and sentenced for six-and-a-half-years in prison for racketeering and fraud.
3.The things Ryan did included using public money for campaign work and exchanging state business for money and gifts.
4.He is the third former Illinois governor convicted of wrongdoing.
What is the reason behind his wrong doing?
Does all corruption stem from having a lot of money and power?

You might want to go into depth with the Blagojevich scandal, because it is a more contemporary example of corruption in Illinois politics.
