Crossroads Fund would like to thank everyone who joined us for our panel discussion Twenty Ways to Stop Corruption in Illinois on February 3, 2009. Almost 100 individuals gathered at the Chicago Temple First United Methodist Church to hear our panelists' tangible suggestions to eliminate political corruption in the city of Chicago and state of Illinois.

We are especially grateful to Cindi Canary (Illinois Campaign for Political Reform), Patrick Collins (Attorney and Chair of the Illinois Reform Commission), Chicago City Clerk Miguel del Valle, and Dick Simpson (Professor of Political Science at UIC and former Chicago Alderman) for presenting as well as Carlos Hernandez Gomez (CLTV's Political Reporter) for moderating the discussion.
