Dear Editor, It was decided yesterday that WBBM-Newsradio Chicago was ordered to suspend radio ads that falsely accused Mark Shaw of saying things he never said. I know Mark Shaw to be as honorable as a person that I've ever met, and feel that it is criminal that Scott Drury could stoop this low along with Michael Madigan. What does this say about their character? I feel that an apology is required here, and the voters of the 58th district should all be made aware of this. Frank Karkazis Deerfield
