Jackson Jr.: I won't resign until I get disability pay
2012-11-16
Sources tell Chicago's FOX 32 News that Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is willing to give up his 2nd Congressional District seat if he's given a bribe some grease disability when he steps down.

Jackson Jr. was re-elected to his tenth term but last month, sources say, he applied for a disability package--what could be his only income if he resigns.
Other than his share of the family liquor distributorship and his wife's graft income as a Chicago alderman...
It is expected to take a couple of weeks for Congress to approve or deny the request.

You forget TW, this is Chicago politics. Living or dead, present or not, your vote is somehow cast.

#5  His whole family exists on blackmail and strong-arm tactics. It's all they know.

MLK Jr., even though he utilized a 'softer' form of extortion, would be disgusted by this.
