The suits were filed at the Daley Center? Are you worried about that Carl especially if you think Welch and Moore have influence over other elected officials. As committeeman, isn't Moore responsible for getting Cook County Judges elected?

Here's the article in the Forest Park Review. My only beef with the article is that it doesn't give the URL of this blog.
