Pellicano May Quit Illinois Law Panel Over $30,000 Loan
AP reports Anthony J. Pellicano Jr., a member of the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission, may resign after publicizing a $30,000 loan from the son of late mob figure Paul Delucia. Pellicano denied wrongdoing, said he had not repaid the loan, and noted Gov. Walker appointed him in 1975 while he disclosed financial status in his application. Pellicano also stated the loan involved a close personal friend and stressed neither he nor Delucia Jr. is part of the crime syndicate. The commission funds local law enforcement with federal money. The same dispatch notes a separate Supreme Court decision declining to review Illinois ballot order rules for primary elections, upholding a lottery-based tie-breaker after simultaneous filings and group petitions.
