Creepy

Remember the mausoleum? Did you think it was creepy? Why would anyone have a mausoleum constructed for themselves with all their accomplishments listed before they die? Why was Roland Burris appointed by Governor Blago before he was impeached, as an Illinois Senator to the US Senate? I think it was creepy and disgraceful. The citizens of Illinois deserved better.

Not even close to Halloween, and new creepy facts emerge about Roland and his creepy grave monument. Did you know that he was a lobbyist for the funeral directors association? Now, those Illinois funeral directors are upset about millions of dollars in prepaid funeral expense trusts that are missing. They want, now Senator Burris, to answer some questions about the funds management going back to 1980.

Why 1980? Burris was the Illinois Comptroller in that year and allowed the Illinois Funeral Directors Association to manage the trust. He later served as a lobbyist for the IFDA. The plaintiffs, who are suing the IFDA for alleged mismanagement, say they want to know why Burris allowed the group to manage the trusts? And they want records of his lobbying activities.

This, from a US Senator? I think it's time that Senator Burris resign and Illinois be allowed to elect their US Senator. I am sure that if Senator Burris has a chance to vote in the US Senate, he will vote to place many unborn babies in his mausoleum.
