Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich shut down a landfill in Joliet run by a distant relative. The move ignited a family feud between the governor and his father-in-law, Chicago Alderman Dick Mell.
Blago is trying to cast himself as an independent, not beholden to Chicago politics.
There's no way he did this without the Mell's approval. He doesn't have the balls.
Ah, theatre!
