Payback time for ex-treasurer Santos?

Here is a story for Chicagoans. Vic Crown is someone who is always around and he always has something going on. Looks like this time he might be onto something, though the courts could just throw the cases out. This is Victor's bio from Medill:

Victor Crown (MSJ85), assistant editor of Illinois Politics Magazine, has won the 2001 Ethics in Journalism Award from the Chicago Headline Club for his coverage of the tension between Illinois Gov. George Ryan and Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, R-Ill., surrounding the nomination for U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.

When Vic began looking into the Santos matter, who would have thought that Reyes or anyone else in the Daley cadre could ever be touched by the law? Vic was written off for tilting at windmills. It will be interesting to see if he ends up getting the last laugh. Russ Stewart has some more details about the whistleblower case in this blog.
