Jim Edgar has a Proviso connection

The Sun-Times (Dave McKinney and Scott Fornek) has an article about all the sources of income Jim Edgar would jeopardize if he runs for governor.

If Jim Edgar runs for governor next year and wins, his victory would not only be costly for Democrats.

It would take a serious bite out of the former Republican governor's own wallet -- to the tune of at least $460,000 a year, or more than $1.8 million over a four-year term as governor.

One of the businesses paying Edgar is based in Melrose Park.

Melrose Park-based Alberto Culver Co., which manufactures personal care and household products, paid Edgar at least $47,500, according to an SEC filing by the company last December.
