to accurate about Illinois and/or Chicago politics. There is so much that could be written up in a fictionalized but exciting manner.

Politics here are largely about powerful families, in both parties. The corruption and scandal could be explored. Blago could have been fictionalized and used, or Ryan, or JJ. The alderman in Chicago could provide juicy story arcs. This could be fun. Is it even filmed in Chicago? Why not?
