As a citizen of Illinois, I’m not surprised at all. Thank God for Patrick Fitzgerald! Probably the only Illinois politician (if you can call him that) that isn’t on the take in this state. No wonder Blago didn’t live in the governor’s mansion in Springfield; too far away from the corruption going on in Chicago. Now I wonder if Fitzgerald will go after the “potential” senators (such as Jesse Jackson Jr.) who were trying to buy their way into said seat? I’d also like to know where Rezko and Obama fit into all this. Woohoo, another Illinois Governor going to prison (hopefully)! Let’s see if we can make it three in a row with the next one!
Er, resident. LOL!
