 3 EX-GOVERNORS SERVED TIME

Three former Illinois governors have gone to prison in the past 35 years:

• Otto Kerner, a Democrat who was governor from 1961 to 1968, served less than a year of a threeyear prison sentence after his conviction in 1973 on bribery, tax evasion and other counts. He was convicted of arranging favorable horse racing dates as governor in return for getting horse racing association stock at reduced prices. He died in 1976.

• Dan Walker, a Democrat in office from 1973 to 1977, served 1½ years of a seven-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in 1987 to bank fraud, misapplication of funds and perjury. The charges were unrelated to service as governor.

• George Ryan, a Republican who was governor from 1999 to 2003, was convicted of corruption in 2006 for steering state contracts and leases to political insiders while he was Illinois secretary of State and then governor. He is serving a 6½-year prison term.
