oops another Illinois Dem caught Illinois State Sen. Terry Link charged with federal income tax evasion | WGN-TV
He was also a member of the Legislative Ethics Commission, but resigned his post there Thursday afternoon.
Link is now the third state senator to be charged with a federal crime in a little more than a year.
In August 2019, Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, former chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, was indicted on embezzlement charges for allegedly being on a ghost payroll of a Chicago-area labor union. He has pleaded not guilty and still serves in the Senate.
And in January, former Sen. Martin Sandoval, a Chicago Democrat and former Transportation Committee chairman, was charged with bribery and tax fraud in a case involving a company that installs red light cameras in Chicago-area suburbs. He pleaded guilty, resigned from the Senate and agreed to cooperate in an ongoing investigation.
