Editorial: 'Politics as usual?' The 'ComEd Four' convictions say corruption is the better word.
Briefly

"Politics as usual."That's how defense lawyers in the corruption trial of the so-called ComEd Four tried to explain away their clients' conduct.Nothing to see here, in other words, it's just the way things get done in Springfield.Thankfully, a jury of seven women and five men said no, the actions of the four defendants - former ComEd contract lobbyist Michael McClain, former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, ex-ComEd executive John Hooker and Jay Doherty, another ComEd lobbyist - weren't "politics as usual."
