Gov. Quinn taps Former Chicago Mob Banker Alexi Giannoulias to head state community college board

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Gov. Quinn on Wednesday will name Alexi Giannoulias chairman of the Illinois Community College Board.

Quinn regularly plugs Illinois’ network of 48 community colleges — the country’s third-largest community college system. For every student at at a public four-year-college in Illinois, two attend a community college, Quinn notes.

It takes a certain sense of style to appoint a known mob banker to the position of Chairman. We hope Giannoulias doesn't run the community colleges like his bankrupt Broadway Bank.
