Yeah, I disagree with Stroger and pretty much everything about him. That was pretty classless. Will he return the check he got? You are a cop, on duty, act like it.

I’m trying to figure out what role IDOT has in seat belt enforcement.

Adieu to Larry McKeon/ He was a good man and legislator.

I’ll really miss Larry.
Does anyone know anything about the funeral/wake/memorial?
- Rich Miller - Thursday, May 15, 08 @ 12:11 pm:
Not yet, David. But I’m sure we’ll hear something soon.
- GofGelnview - Thursday, May 15, 08 @ 1:22 pm:
Rich, did you see the new posting of the Rezko indictment at Eye on Rezko? The DOJ uncovered the names.
- Skeeter - Thursday, May 15, 08 @ 4:01 pm:
There is a candlelight vigil set for Friday in Daley Plaza to mourn all those poor animals.
I’m thinking of going and using a candle to cook up some liver.
- A Couple Friends of Larry - Thursday, May 15, 08 @ 4:21 pm:
Friends of Larry’s will be putting together a memorial service sometime soon. It will likely be in early June. We will try to spread the word widely, and certainly we will ask Mr. Miller if he can share it with the Cap Fax Crew.
