John Howard Association's Ex-Director Indicted
It doesn't get much worse than this if you are a good government type.
Mike Mahoney, 63, the past director of the John Howard Association, has been indicted by the U.S. Attorney's office. He has moved to Cassopolis, Michigan.
He is accused of paying "kickbacks while representing vendors that had multi-million-dollar contracts with the state prison agency."
The kickbacks allegedly went to George Ryan Corrections Director Don Snyder, 52. Snyder was indicted in July, along with Barrington Hills lobbyist John J. Robinson, 59, and Larry E. Sims, 59, of Pleasant Plains, near Springfield.
In an investigation that grew out of the Safe Roads probe of corruption in the Secretary of State's Office under Ryan, "Mahoney and others allegedly were involved in paying kickbacks totaling approximately $20,000, out of the approximately $50,000 total, to Snyder," according to the the U.S. Attorney's press release, which you can find here.

I hope they all rot in hell. Jump on those least able to afford it, the incarcerated and their families, who end up paying more for less and getting less service. IDOC is full of patronage from top to bottom, all those relatives to stupid to get a job on the tollways.
This is the crooked idiot who went after Rich Remus--are real stand up guy.
Now he is indicted and taking bribes.
Rich Remus was run out on a rail--phony accusations of rapists.
Rich Remus was a great Sort team and Special Operations Director.
What ever happened to the investigations of Tllinois Tollway's Ex Executive Director Jack Hartman and his Tllinois Tollway pal Scott Okun?
Isn't Mahoney the guy appointed by the federal court to monitor Cook County's troubled Juvenile Detention Center? Maybe we now know why it took a second lawsuit to finally force Stroger to cede control to a reformer.
