ILLINOIS - The former head of the Illinois prison system should not get his pension benefits because he took payoffs from lobbyists, Attorney General Lisa Madigan said Thursday. In a letter to the State Employees' Retirement System, Madigan said former Illinois Department of Corrections Director Donald Snyder forfeited the right to his retirement fund as a result of his federal conviction of mail fraud. Snyder engaged "in a scheme to defraud the people of the state of Illinois of money, property, and the intangible right to his honest services by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, promises, and material omissions, while serving as director of IDOC," Madigan wrote to Tim Blair, acting executive secretary of the State Employees' Retirement System. Snyder was corrections director from January 1999 to February 2003. He has admitted doling out contracts in exchange for $50,000 from lobbyists, including some payments Snyder received through the mail. Read more.
