Schillerstrom, Birkett and McMahon received money from convicted political figure Tony Rezko

ORIGINALLY FROM MY DECEMBER 22, 2007 BLOG -

A newspaper article reported that Antoin "Tony'' Rezko, his family, his businesses and business associates have donated thousands of dollars to politicians, including DuPage County Chairman Robert Schillerstrom, DuPage County States Attorney Joe Birkett, and DuPage County Board Member Michael McMahon (District 3).

Tony Rezko is the political figure convicted of various charges - the allegations were attempted extortion, money laundering, and fraud.

I don't know why Rezko gave money to Schillerstrom, Birkett and McMahon but I don't like the idea of Cook County politics crossing the border into DuPage County.

Schillerstrom, Birkett and McMahon should give Rezko's money to charity and keep a closer eye on who's giving money to their campaigns.
