Illinois...

[dlly]

A quote, from the second governor of Illinois, Edward Coles, served December 5th 1822 to December 6th 1826: "The more I see and know of the politicians in this state, the less respect and confidence I have in them". At this point, the state was only about 4 to 8 years old.

Really?

At least 188 years of noticeable corruption?

Illinois, you have some 'splainin' to do.
