  34. An industrious Illinois political reporter recently found the true cash cow of the Rezko Empire in Tombstone, Arizona earlier this week.

    When asked about the success of the business, indicted influence pedler Tony Rezko was quoted as saying “We took all the money allocated for landscaping and used it to buy access to politicians. It was all downhill from there!”

  36. Sid Rezko lacked his brother’s acumen in dealing with public officials. Thus he had to make an honest living at this auto shop 30 miles outside Flagstaff. Tony tossed him a bone by arranging a contract servicing the county dog pound’s vehicles.
