Report: Mayor of Springfield, Illinois, Commits Suicide

Published December 14, 2010
FoxNews.com

The mayor of Springfield, Illinois, Tim Davlin, was found dead Tuesday morning from what apparently was a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the State-Journal Register.

Illinois State Police are investigating his death.

Police Chief Robert Williams says officers responded to a 911 call shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday at Timothy Davlin's home and found the Democratic mayor dead...

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin released a statement saying he was shocked by the news of Davlin's death.

"I was stunned and saddened by the news of Mayor Tim Davlin's passing. His work with my office always reflected his dedication to our hometown. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this tragic moment."...

Records show that Mayor Davlin owes the federal government nearly $90,000 in unpaid income taxes and liens have been filed against his home.

Notice the huge debt.. The complete lack of personal responsibility.

A guy like this, in those kinds of straights is for hire.. There's NO TELLING what he's wrapped up in, or with who.

He probly reported all the bribes he took to the IRS, and didn't realize he had to pay taxes. Then he called Rangel,who was giving him tax advice, and Rangel sent in a Clinton goon squad to help him with his suicide. :P

Yeah, just another big Dem who doesn't like to pay his taxes. But something was creeping down on him. Something bigger than he could solve even with his friends in government...
