Will he be taken to court for the alleged crime? How did Illinois govern body decide if he was guilty before taking him to court? Doesn’t one is innocent until proven guilty.
Splitzer admitted his wrong doing and then resigned. According to the law, he should be charged and taken to court. The four people who operated the prostitution ring all pleaded guilty…and some are serving time, and some are on probation at this present time. Conviniently, Splitzer was never charged.
What is wrong with the judicial system.

The State of Illinois’ impeachment rules doesn’t require him to be found guilty of anything to be impeached. There is going to be an indictment handed down by Patrick Fitzgerald.
How are you Grace?

I think they can do it in IL on a lack of confidence. The news guys, in between fits of laughter after his final press conference out side his house, said that.

I am doing fine, Sage. How are you doing?
Got all the rooms done. Today, I visited the local hardware store. Make a small purchse for minor repairs around the house. I have fixed one of the radiator. I need to tinker with two more. I have four new window latches to fix also. Mini alarm for all the entraces. Sure is busy!
Father in law has fixed my car window. He is a jack of all trades, and I have learned a lot from him. In Grace household, I am the one who gets “honey to do list”. I do enjoy it though!

It sounds like you’ve been busy. It’s great you can make those repairs yourself.
I’m doing fair….battling insomnia again so I’m dragging. I’ve been working on a website for a friend, too.

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with insomnia again. Building a website sounds like fun though! Have you heard from DrS? I wonder how’s her move and everything.
My dad does not repair much of anything, and depends on repairman a lot. After my older brother left for college, minor repairs around the house became my responsibility. My father in law saw my interest in it and bought me a tool box and gave me his extra set of tools. I guess I am “the son” that he wants to pass down his skills and tricks. My hubby has the man power but does not comprehend the theory of any repairs(father in law said he took after his mother, lol). My brother in law is too lazy to learn. So, I am IT, lol!

Hi Grace. I’m doing ok…how about you? You’re missed around here.

Hey Sage…good to hear that you are well. Last weekend, our project was anything and everything concerning windows.
Hubby responssible for installing blinds. And I double checked all the storm windows. What got me really frustrated was the former tenant’s big mouth. He bragged to my landlady that he would give us a lesson or two how to take care of this house, and portrayed himself to be the know it all. Yeah right, none of the storm windows were installed correctly. I spent 15 minutes online and figured out the correct way. I really dislike wannabe Einstein. He actually wasted 25% of good heat due to faulty installation.
I have to drag more good woods into the house. I have been working hard physically. Before you know it, I will be enrolling for weight lifting championship. I have been sleeping soundly every single night though.
I think I am getting used to no man’s land.
