Focus too much on single aspects of Illinois corruption and the big picture will be lost, along with chances to fix the problems.

Sources have identified state Sen. Terry Link as the FBI’s witness in their investigation into former state Rep. Luis Arroyo. Tax troubles may have led to Link’s cooperation.

State Rep. Luis Arroyo was a key supporter of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s $45 billion infrastructure package, which was funded in part by a gambling expansion and doubling the state’s gas tax.

Don’t despair. Be part of the story where Illinoisans break the mold.
