press conference.REUTERSMaryland Rep. Donna Edwards said Sunday she wasnt
ready to support a boycott of Florida over the Trayvon Martin case,
despite reported support from members of her own Congressional Black Caucus.Edwards,
a Democrat, told Fox News Sunday that she has yet to fully
examine the call to boycott, as proposed by civil rights leader the
Rev. Jesse Jackson.Jackson said after a Florida jury found neighborhood
watch volunteer George Zimmerman not guilty July 13 of all charges in
the fatal 2012 killing of Martin, a teenager, that his Rainbow PUSH
Coalition would consider a boycotting on Florida, which he characterized

In a rare move earlier this week, Metra's ex-CEO Alex Clifford came
forward publicly to reveal specific details about how he says he was
forced out of his lucrative job after refusing to cave to political

moral character flaws" from people who practice the "Illinois way" of doing
business, including Madigan.Clifford claims Madigan specifically wanted
