Joe Walsh was sued by Keith Liscio, a former campaign manager, for back pay of $20,000 that was not given to him during Walsh's 2010 congressional campaign. So, Liscio sued him in 2010. And, they recently came to a settlement of an undisclosed amount that Walsh is ordered to pay. Not all of the paperwork has been processed, though it should be shortly. Liscio and Walsh have not spoken since December of 2009 over this issue.

Kirk references people shooting politicians for suggesting that taxes should be raised
I think that the decision to raise taxes by 50 percent in Illinois is political suicide,I think the people of Illinois are ready to shoot anyone who is going to raise taxes by that degree.
