Ill. Supreme Court: Ex-Gov. Ryan can't keep pension - Only Controversial Justice Anne Burke Dissents

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The Illinois Supreme Court today rejected a bid by imprisoned former Gov. George H. Ryan to keep part of his lucrative government pension in a 6-1 ruling. The decision will cost Ryan $70,824 per year, a benefit that would have come from his government service prior to his corrupt reign secretary of state and governor.

“As the victims of Ryan’s crimes, the taxpayers of the state of Illinois are under no obligation to now fund his retirement,” wrote Justice Bob Thomas in the court’s majority opinion.

Justice Anne Burke was the lone dissenter.

Does corruption bother Anne Burke or her Chicago Mob linked husband?
