Police Union Hires Jason Van Dyke As It Seeks To Rebuild Trust With Him And His Colleagues.
— Beachwood Reporter (@BeachwoodReport) March 31, 2016

As the union's janitor, Jason Van Dyke's job will be to follow Pat Camden around with an industrial strength broom and dust pan.

Fees FAIL
"Figures from Comptroller Leslie Munger's office show Illinois has spent more than $900 million on late-payment penalties over the last six years because of the state's inability to pay its bills on time," AP reports.

That's only $100 million short of a billion.

Then again, the state can get it back in a hurry if it makes a blockbuster or gets really lucky.
