Will The Illinois Secretary of State Be Visiting a Grand Jury?

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White said Monday his decision to promote his daughter to a $112,000-a-year job and employ other relatives should not be compared to the corruption scandal that brought down his predecessor.

White said he did not pressure anyone to hire at least five of his relatives and sees nothing wrong with his office employing them as long as they are qualified for the jobs.

"If I did something improper to hire them, there would be something wrong with that," White said. "I did nothing improper."
