Your article on how Reps. Dan Rostenkowski and Henry Hyde assisted Cecil Partee with the Parkway Gardens project is an excellent example of how the

”good ole boy” system works-or how politicians look out for each other. It`s obvious no questions were asked to determine if this was for the good of the taxpayer-maybe that isn`t a factor if it`s good for a ”good ole boy”

club member.

Maybe those legislators who assisted Mr. Partee-that also included Sen. Paul Simon and Rep. Charles Hayes-have been on the ”Plantation” (you know the place-where congressmen pass laws that are ”for the good of the people,” but exempt themselves) so long they have forgotten whom they are accountable to.
