according to open secrets, the pro israel norpac, the major contradictor to mark kirk's campaign, gave hem 30804 tuesday but individual associated with the pac ponied up more than $58,000. similarly, kirk received $114,904 from pro israel pacs according to open secrets but nearly five time that much from pro israel individuals. so pac contributions, thanks to bundling, are just the tip of the iceberg. what is most striking about these 30-odd pro israel packs is their pattern of giving. once you have read their fec filings its almost plea tickettable who the other ones will give to and i have gone through these pages of fec reports. in fact, these pacs operate in lock step to such an extent that some of the pac that nominally represent a certain state don't get to a single candidate from that state. for example, here at the washington reports lest of the top ten recipients of pro israel pac contributions in 2012. you can see that steny hero -- and ben cartwright was under four in the senate. neither, by the way, faced a tight re-election campaign. now, one would assume that some of the

republican senator mark kirk of illinois, this guy behind me, announced that he will not campaign fornominee who's running against kirk's fellow illinois senator. that's democrat dick durbin. he's doing this so as not to undermine their shared efforts to governor. here's what senator kirk explained his decision to reporters. >> i am going to be protecting my relationship with dick and not launching into a partisan jihad that hurts our partnership to both pull together for illinois. >> for the increasingly novel approach of putting substance over politics, senator mark kirk is our hero today. all right, we turn now to a decidedly more insidious partnership. yesterday, a federal jury found five former employees of bernie madoff guilty of 31 counts of helping the disgraced financier lie, cheat, steal, bankrupt families and destroy lyes. this last week, madoff interviewed from the prison where he is serving a 150-year sentence defended his former aides, saying they weren't aware of what they were doing. really? about a scheme dating back to the '70s. if there's one person i trust, it's be

according to open secrets, the pro-israel norpac, the number five contributor to senator mark kirk's 2010 campaign, gave him $3,804. but individuals associated with that a pac ponied up more than $58,000. similarly, kirk received $114,904 from pro-israel pacs according to open secrets but nearly five times that much from pro-israel individuals. so pac contributions, thanks to bundling, are just the tip of the iceberg. what's most striking about these 30-odd pro-israel pacs, however, is their pattern pattef gave -- giving. once you've read the fec filings, it's almost predictable about who the others will be giving to, and i can personal aattest to this. in fact, these pacs operate in lock step to such an extent that some of the pacs that nominally represent a certain state don't give to a single caught from that state. for example, here is the washington reports list of the top ten recipients of pro-israel pac contributions in 2012. you can see that steny hoyer was number four in the house with $31,750. and that democratic ben cardin of maryland with $55,680 was number four in the se

senator mark kirk campaigned for govenror quinn's republican opponent, bruce rauner. conference, rauner says quinn broke his promise to the people of illinois when he proposed to make the state's 67-percent temporary income tax hike, permanent. rauner and kirk noted that illinois trails the nation, and even its midwest neighbors, in economic recovery. kirk said, quinn's expansion of medicaid coverage in illinois, only deceives people into believing they have health insurance. >> when you show up and the doctor says it no that it will pay period inaudible it's a lie. >> governor quinn signed the medicaid expansion last summer, healthcare reform act. the harsh winter did not deplete the road salt. in fact the county was quietly giving some away. the board of president's office says the county loaned out about 1,300 t of salt. about 3 percent of the total supply. it still has 11,000 t left over for next winter. a lot of salt was left over from last year there was a mild year. >> a record-breaking amount of ice covered the lake and now it's starting to rise. it will rise
