Sangamon County Circuit Clerk Tony Libri is taking some heat for his claims that he rooted out widespread corruption in his office when he took over in 1996.
Libri said he was able to get rid of workers who were suspected of stealing evidence or taking bribes, but official records only show one case along those lines.
Libri’s Democratic challenger, Kristin DiCenso, suggests Libri is exaggerating the claims to bolster his re-election campaign.
