| Illinois' Reform Commission Names Members |
Illinois' new Reform Commission has Pat Fitzgerald on it -- not the crusading federal prosecutor, but the football coach at Northwestern University.

The appointees:
* Anita Alvarez, Chicago -- Cook County state's attorney
* Pamela Davis, Naperville -- President, Edward Hospital
* Patrick Fitzgerald, Evanston -- Northwestern University football coach
* Hanke Gratteau, Oak Park -- Former managing editor, Chicago Tribune
* Tasha Green, Chicago -- executive director, High Jump, providing enriched academic opportunities for low-income middle school students
* David Hoofman, Chicago -- Inspector general, City of Chicago
* Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, Chicago -- President, DePaul University
* Cmdr. Douglas L. Johnson, Wheaton -- Neurosurgeon, U.S. Marine Corps.
* Kate Maehr, Oak Park -- Executive director, Greater Chicago Food Depository
* Brad McMillan, Peoria -- Executive director, Institute for Principled Leadership, Bradley University
* Duane Noland, Decatur -- President, Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives; former state legislator
* Lawrence Oliver, Chicago -- Chief counsel of investigations, Boeing Co.
* Sheila Simon, Carbondale -- Law professor, Southern Illinois Univ. School of Law
* Rev. Scott Willis, Ashton, Tenn. -- Father of six children killed in a car fire caused by faulty equipment falling from a truck operated by an unqualified driver who had obtained a license by paying a bribe.
Only Alvarez is currently an elected official. The commission has three months to deliver its recommendations.
