Illinois focus of Political and Funeral Corruption
What is the biggest factor that keeps up the average cost of a funeral?| It is politics my friend. Funeral Directors, Politicians and Lobbyists.
What is the corruption Capital of the United States? Some still insist on Washington DC, but focus is now on ILLINOIS. It is quite apparent that funeral Industry and politicos corruption is present in both places.
In the State of Illinois corruption in the Funeral Industry has recently come to light. Most of the corruption there has been centered around the Illinois Funeral Directors Association(IFDA) management of a 300 Million Dollar Trust Fund.
Last week there was an uncountable number of News Articles(Some Here) about the New Senator (D-IL) Roland Burris. and his connection to The Illinois Funeral Directors Association. He gave the IFDA their License to manage the Trust Fund. Burris lobbied for the IFDA and Collected money for his efforts.
The bad news is that the Current Comptroller said- Burris should NOT have given the license in the first place. The managers of the fund have been the focus of two lawsuits. One is class action and another alleging the whole IFDA thing a Ponzi Scheme.
Besides Senator Roland Burris being In- Bed-ed with the the Corrupt Funeral Industry another Congressional leader is in the House is In -Bed-ed with Funeral Directors. His name is Charlie Rangal. Rangal is under investigation for tax evasion. He is the head of the Powerful House Ways an Means Commitee.
