Well, Superman is right. Crime does not pay, nor does it pay your pension, as former Ill. Governor George H. Ryan found out this afternoon. Because Ryan, a Kankakee Republican, was a state representative, speaker of the state house, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and then governor, his yearly pension is just short of $200,000 a year. But his pension, because of his recent conviction of fraud charges, has been forfeited.
