CHICAGO (AP) -- A spokeswoman for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says one of his top aides has resigned.
Spokeswoman Kelley Quinn on Wednesday said Deputy Gov. Bob Greenlee resigned. The reason for his resignation wasn't immediately clear.
Greenlee's resignation comes a day after Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges.
Greenlee was promoted to be a top aide to Blagojevich in June, replacing former Deputy Governor Sheila Nix. Greenlee had been a top administration aide previously.
State records indicate the 33-year-old Greenlee lives in Chicago and earned $149,000 a year.
President Biden. OMG
O’boy, it’s beginning. I guess the 20+ year criminal charge flushes them out. Who’s going to spill the beans as the scandal widens.
We need to keep up with the names as they come out, but we don't need to confuse ourselves with assumptions.
Er, uh, is she any relation to lt. governor Pat Quinn perchance...?
This is incredible. It’s Blagolicious.
It will never come to that. MSM is and will cover for Bama. I have no doubt about that. They will just call it all a vast right wing conspiracy.
Is this like the “vice” governor? Next in line to be governor?
No - we have a Lt. Gov. who is like the “vice-gov”
The domino effect.
Wildfire *ping*
From reading the transcripts this guy was knee deep in all that was going on. He was making a lot of the contacts and talking to Blago about how he should “sell” the Senate position.
He is probably working out a plea deal right now. Didn’t want to continue to work for Blago and turn into a stool pigeon at the same time. Rats deserting a sinking ship.
Obama is going down!
Way too many people indicted and involved.
Blago, Blago’s wife, Harris, Wyman wearing a wire, candidates #1-#6, Stern, Rezko, Cellini.......and all the other bit players past and present. In addition to all those people now under investigation before the grand jury about the Rezko land deal.
Obama can’t pardon Rezko AND Blago. Now way, no how. They’ve got to see the writing on the wall. Just a matter of time.
Rod has Blagztpah!!
“...Bob Greenlee meet Vince..Vince Foster meet Bob.”
People were running Illinois? I thought people were running around looking out for their own intrests.
