Talk:George Ryan

message: We need to include a comment about how Ryan (and his scandal) was directly responsible for the undermining of the Illinois GOP, culminating in the rise of the ineffective Barr-Topinka and the electoral victories of Blagojevich and Obama. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 07:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: There should be something about Dick Durbin calling for his pardoning and Mark Kirk saying not to.  Could somebody look into that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poketape (talk • contribs) 04:38, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: This part of the article is slightly misleading.  The Willis family tragedy was not the result of a crash.  It was caused by their minivan striking a piece of debris on the road, which punctured the fuel tank and cause a fire that incinerated the minivan and the children.  The debris was a part that came off a truck trailer that was being hauled by a driver whose license was thought to have been gotten through a bribe.  The evidence collect at the scene showed that the truck driver was not directly at fault and at no time did the Willis' minivan ever make contact with the truck, which means there was no crash.
* It was PROVEN that the truck driver got his license through bribery. When the authorities were investigating the incident, they found that the driver had a valid Illinois license, but could only speak Spanish. However, the written part of the license exam was, at that time, only given in English. So how did he get his license? The Feds were called in, and it was quickly established that licenses were being given for bribes. JHobson3 (talk) 12:17, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
