'''Illinois''' was the twenty-first state to enter into the [[union]]. Its capital is [[Springfield]], and the largest city is [[Chicago]]. Illinois is bordered by [[Indiana]], [[Kentucky]], [[Michigan]],[[Missouri]], [[Iowa]], and [[Wisconsin]]. It is considered to be one of the most corrupt states in the nation.

==Politics==

Illinois can be viewed as having a more [[liberal]] concentration in the northeastern portion of the state. This is often attributed to the large metropolitan area surrounding [[Chicago]]. In contrast, the southern and western portions of the state are typically more [[conservative]]. The state capitol is [[Springfield, Illinois|Springfield]], and there is political tension about state lawmakers who spend too much of their time in either Chicago, Champaign-Urbana, or Springfield.

The population distribution has led Illinois to lean politically to the [[left]] in most recent non-local elections. Many consider Illinois to be a liberal stronghold, especially in regard to [[presidential]] elections.

Currently, Illinois has a [[Democratic]] governor, [[Rod Blagojevich]], but has elected [[Republican]] governors in the recent past, such as [[George Ryan]], who controversially emptied the state's death row after an investigation by [[Northwestern University]] law students proved that one death row inmate was innocent.<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/01/11/illinois.death.row/</ref> Critics charged that he only did so to gain sympathy because he was about to be tried for [[corruption]] and selling [[commercial driver's license]]s when he was the [[Illinois Secretary of State]].

===Elected Officials===
*Sen. [[Richard Durbin]]
*Sen. [[Barack Obama]]

These are two neighborhoods on the Southside of Chicago. Hyde Park is home to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Robie House, and the University of Chicago. Kenwood is home to the city's first public library and first synagogue. Famous residents of the Hyde Park-Kenwood neighborhoods past and present include teenaged kidnapper-murderers Leopold and Loeb, William Ayers and Barack Obama.
