Poshard breaks silence on 1998 race and Ryan probe
Former state senator and congressman Glenn Poshard, after retiring from SIU Carbondale, discusses the 1998 governor bid and the unfolding federal inquiry into Gov. George Ryan's campaign. He cites license-for-bribe allegations tied to the McCook Driving Facility, names witnesses, and notes investigators found no wrongdoing in early inquiries. He connects jail terms for Seibel and Mendosa to the cover of the campaign while detailing his decision to go on record amid indictments and racketeering cases.
