Poshard details role in race and Guzman license drama
Former Illinois governor candidate Glenn Poshard recounts pressuring the Willis family to allow an ad linking Guzman to an illegal license obtained through a bribe. He recalls meetings, family grief, and efforts to expose alleged government corruption led by George Ryan. He cites Operation Safe Road indictments, political pressure, and his decision to retire to help abused children.
