corruption post #7

What did George Ryan really do?  he faced and denied federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, mail and tax fraud, and lying to the authorities to cover up those crimes.  Ryan was charged with granting lucrative state contracts and leases to old friends.  in return he received gifts from them mostly cash and luxury vacation's.  he and his family gained a total of 167,000 dollars.  When questioned by authorites Ryan covered it up and denied the accusations that he was being questioned about.  The fact that ryan was one of many that have been charged with corruption charges is just unbelevible.
