Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Hats off to the Tribune editorial staff for expressing the indignation that the Meg Gorecki story truly deserves (“Gorecki lingers, public loses,” Jan. 6). It is terrible that a county’s top prosecutor, a state’s attorney, lied about a county board member, knowingly and repeatedly lied about the lie, then finally admitted the wrongdoing.
The Tribune rightly calls her “disgraced” and states that she should step down from office. I can’t help but wonder, however, why the Tribune never calls another public official who lied, and lied under oath, a “disgrace.” A public official who held a much higher position of public trust than a state’s attorney. I guess for the Tribune, there’s one rule for Meg Gorecki and another for Bill Clinton.
