Obama Broke Illinois Ethics Laws As A State LegislatorOct 19 2008 12:00AMhttp://sayanythingblog.com/index.phpApparently, on Obama’s released tax records, he discloses income from speaking fees. The problem? Accepting payment for speaking fees when you’re a legislator is against Illinois state lawApparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was prohibited from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics ActBut what about Barack Obama�s 2000 and 2002 tax returns? 2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a �Foundation director/Educational speaker.� 2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for �Legal services/attorney� (and nothing for speaking)2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for �LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.� These �speaking fees� are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s.
