Johnson cites firing motives in liquor panel probe
Former Illinois Liquor Control Commission Chairman Lawrence E. Johnson says his dismissal by Governor Walker stemmed from two main causes: his pursuit of Angelos campaign irregularities and his refusal to pay a $3,144 voucher to consultant Steven Schwab. He alleges pressure from De Grazia and Walker staff to release funds and documents, while denying direct involvement by Walker.
