Blago should be in jail for this stunt alone. Rod just approved a raise for non union state workers. This raise will cost you and me $14 million and, of course, it is NOT in the budget. This group had a raise in 2002 and now another one in an election year, of course.
Rod says the State can afford to do this now. The budget is balanced, after all, and Illinois financial condition is "improving."
What Blago really means is, "GUYS, RELAAAAAX! I STOLE ENOUGH MONEY FROM THE TEACHERS PENSION FUND FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS, not just one!" Yup. The State has plenty'o money in its coffers for this year and next because of Rod's foresight to steal enough money to cover his ass this year and next (election) year.
Kids, time for a pop quiz. The following question counts for 100% of your grade.
Former President Bill Clinton is a womanizing pig as Gov. Rod is to....
a. A lying sack of crap.
b. A thief and a lying sack of crap.
c. Chicago's favorite political whore, a thief, and a lying sack of crap.

C. Final Answer.
What Rod did was completely wrong and he has to gall to say he balanced the budget. Bullshit. Hopefully, Illinois votes will see through this scam and vote him out in '06.
Hope the "party de elephante" has their proverbial poop together to pummel Mr. Chicagovich. That's what it will take. If they come out disorganized and fighting amongst themselves, they'll lose it.
From the looks of things, the voters of Illinois do not have a very good selection to choose from.
Poshard? Get real. He's every bit as goofed up as the rest of the herd, Chase. There's a huge problem in this huge state that all we can do is produce hack politicians to run for governor. Ever since Edgar left, it's been the roughest ride downhill that any state could endure.
Well, I'm a Democrat, and I voted for Poshard, too... but I held my nose while I did it. I'm just saying that in this great state of Illinois, we should be able to come up with better candidates than we have, particularly for governor.
