A former governor of Illinois has died. Dan Walker ran the state for one term in the 1970s. A Democrat, he focused much of his brief political career on fighting members of his own party.
The son of the one-term governor confirms that Walker died overnight Wednesday in California. He was 92. In 1987, he was sentenced to federal prison time for fraudulently obtaining more than $1 million in loans. He's survived by his wife and seven children.
