ACORN/SEIU donated thousands to IL law enforcement officials

Illinois Review reports:
With twenty states now investigating ACORN/SEIU and the vast majority of US House and US Senate members voting to end all federal tax dollars going to the ACORN/SEIU organizations, it's notable that Illinois -- where ACORN and the employee union local it founded -- Service Employees International Union Local 880 -- is one of the only states where no such investigation is known to be ongoing.

Perhaps there's a very good reason why ACORN/SEIU isn't being investigated here. It may be that Illinois is unique in that ACORN/SEIU has not been involved in illegal activities or affiliation. Or it may have something to do where the SEIU has directed its political campaign dollars and where its election day work takes place.
What's the difference between a campaign contribution and a bribe in Illinois?
