One Hundred Eleven: Walsh

So Bean has conceded, and now Walsh is, by definition, the biggest welfare recipient in the IL Eighth District. Obviously there is the $174K salary and fully vested retirement benefits after working just 5 years. But of course there is also the panoply of perks and ability to hand out favors to various people and entities willing to pay bribes.

Does this sound jaded and cynical? Of course. It's the product of watching government suck the life out of private citizens for 58 years.
