Congress gave 75% of last years Q2 and Q3 employees salary under the conditions they maintain

Doug is right and frankly the crooks in Chicago are dumb as usual. Just like the Dr. Dao incident, Willis tower brain trust will double down on the wrong move and have to walk it back or pay it back. Legislators and the public are taking notice, it's going to be a **** storm.
