Fitzgerald ‘85 Shines Light on Corruption in Illinois
As a former Chicagoan, I’ve been paying close attention to the sad display of corruption and greed coming out of the state of Illinois in recent days (er, years). It appears the good citizens of that state will see a second governor in a row–first Republican governor George Ryan and now Democratic governor Rod Blagojevich–end up behind bars. (One wonders whether voters will choose more wisely next time) But there’s a hero in this mess: U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, a 1985 graduate of Harvard Law School. I recommend reading about him in this Chicago Tribune profile. Maybe the new president (’91) will keep him on for a few more years…
