The Tribune previously reported that agents visited Bluff City Materials, a Bartlett sand and gravel operation owned by a major Sandoval donor, and that his connections to Commonwealth Edison — where his daughter, Angie, has worked as a senior account representative — have also been probed.

This scandal is growing and more Illinois Democrats are likely to be arrested and/or forced into resignation.

Here is part of our report on Luis Arroyo from October 30:

CBS Chicago is reporting that Illinois State Rep. Luis Arroyo has been arrested for bribery:

CHICAGO (CBS) — Another powerful Springfield Democrat has been targeted by the feds – this time, agents arrested Rep. Luis Arroyo (D-Chicago) on accusations of bribing a state senator.

There was just one problem – that state senator was working as an informant.

Arroyo, 65, is charged with one count of federal program bribery, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago. Arroyo made an initial court appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez and was ordered released on a personal recognizance bond.

The state senator he bribed was working as an informant?

Looks like someone saved their own assets early in this investigation.

There are some big names that could potentially be drawn into this scandal like Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel, but we all know that it is unlikely to make it that far.

Still, we can hope and dream.

For now, some Illinois Democrats are scrambling for the exits while others have been forced to the exits.

More may follow.
