To the Editor:

Although, as Illinoisans, we haplessly reside in the most corrupt of American states (sorry, New Jersey and Louisiana), and have endured a dizzying succession of corrupt governors – which didn’t start with George Ryan or end with Rod Blagojevich – I always expected a bit more from local politicos.

Unfortunately, even that modest consolation will be callously dashed if the McHenry City Council approves the superfluous mega multiplex gasoline terminus that augurs to replicate the gigantic refueling depot at Little America, McMurdo Sound.
