Former Gang Member Hired At Dept. Of Corrections? Republicans Want Answers

State Reps. Dennis Reboletti, John Anthony and Jeanne Ives are outraged that Xandrian McCraven, a former Chicago gang member with more than 24 arrests, has been hired by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

How does a former street gang member with an extensive criminal record get placed into multiple high-paying government jobs that allow him access to sensitive information?

State Reps. Dennis Reboletti (R-Elmhurst), John Anthony (R-Morris) and Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) are outraged that Xandrian McCraven, a former Chicago gang member with more than 24 arrests and falsified job qualifications spanning multiple state agencies, has been hired by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

So. Under omalley's watch a gang member took control of the state run Balto City Detention Center and impregnated several 'guards.' They were running drug trafficking and money laundering schemes also.
