“We can’t say we’re sorry that the state Board of Elections gave Chicago mayoral candidate Willie Wilson a pass for a $240,000 giveaway that blurred the lines between his campaign and his charity work.
We don’t think the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform was out of line in asking the board to take a look, either.
At a July 22 event at a South Side church, the sharecropper’s-son-turned-millionaire handed out $40,000 in cash to needy families and $200,000 in checks to help people pay their property taxes. Who wouldn’t vote for a guy like that?”
