I do not feel Ryan should be pardoned. He should face his bad choices in prison. Are you going to pardon all prisoners that have a family member dying? Thank you.

Ex-Gov. George Ryan should not have his sentence commuted! He is a murderer! Because of him, a Chicago pastor and his wife lost all six of their precious children. All because George Ryan allowed licences for truckers who paid for them, or who let the licience facilities give out liciences for bribes which went directly into George Ryans campainge fund! He is just as guilty of murdering those children, and no telling how many other precious lives were lost, as if he had himself ran over each one of them or shot and killed each one of them. Nothing can ever bring those children back. The heartache these parents are feeling will never go away. George Ryan should at least spend the rest of his life in prison. And I mean REAL prison, the kind the ordinary criminal goes to, not some fancy place where he gets the red carpet treatment. I know he was convicted of racketeering charges but he should have been charged with capital murder. Because he was a Gov. he should not gst special treatment
