$100 Million Obama Library voted on by absent State Representatives.

It was a unanimous vote of 9-0 in favor of blowing $100 Million that we do not have, on an Obama Library. The only problem is that 5 of the nine who supposedly voted in favor of the idea... were not even there!!! This is Illinois politics folks, this is how your hard earned tax dollars get spent by people like Speaker Mike Madigan... that says this is legal by Illinois law. The only State Representative to raise his voice in opposition to this scam is the Honorable Rep. Ed Sullivan. Where is our State Attorney General in this matter... oh ya, she is Speaker Mike Madigan's Daughter. Does anybody think that there may be a conflict of interest there or is it just me?
