Payments helped AT&T obtain key legislative wins in Illinois, prosecutors say.
How incompetent do you have to be to get in trouble for bribing politicians in this country? Those politicians worked so hard to make certain forms of bribery legal. I get why they’re upset.

ATT bribed legislators to cancel their COLR obligations as a monopolist, then had the gall to complain that California would not cancel COLR like in the states where they bribed regulators.
