DuPage Election Board May Finally Replace Republican Crony Attorney [View all]

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130424/news/704249708/

The DuPage County Election Commission has been contracting the same Republican crony attorney since 1996 who has given the DuPage Republican Party and candidates over $175,000 in contributions. He's paid big bucks with tax dollars and then gives it back to same people who give him the generous contracts.

Other attorneys contracted with the county and state are given a ceiling rate of $150 per hour. This guy has been charging $250 per hour for years and it looks like he just reduced it to $230 amid scrutiny.
