#2 One of the alternate state mottoes there newc [along with Home of the Flea - Land of the Plague, Manana, et al]. Two prior State Treasurers are or have served federal time for corruption. Just another version of corruption in 'Name that Party', though I think their model is more (Mexican) PRI rather than Chicago.
