    No conflict of interest?

    Who watches the watchdog?

    In Illinois, the tollway has no one watching them. Putting this person in line just adds another person for pay off.
     
    Brickman Thanks this.

    Do you know the advantage to having an IPASS?


    You no longer have to deal with the rude worthless toll takers.

    I am betting that in IL they can find some honest lawyer to fill the position. It is not like someone in that position would launder funds to their own account while pointing the finger another direction.:biggrin_25513: Nah, that wouldn't happen.

    A five year appointment where the people have to pay the bill nor have a say in who has the position? Really, is this the best solution they could come up with?

    You're too honest RM, they wouldn't want you around, you would wear on their conscience.

    Wonder what the up front pay is though, guess it doesn't matter with the backside being unlimited. ;)
