The Illinois State Supreme Court has rejected a request by jailed former governor George Ryan to keep part of his pension. Ryan was hoping to receive $60,000 a year for his services to the state before his arrest for corruption. Justice Anne Burke was the only dissenter in the 6-1 ruling. [Sun-Times]
