Culture of Sleaze, Springfield Style

Joe Birkett, DuPage County State's Atty and potential GOP candidate for governor, is calling on Governor Rod Blagojevich to joinMayor Daley in banning state contractors from donating to his campaign funds. Always the cautious politician, Blagojevich is "considering it." The CBS 2 Chicago site has the entire story.

One sad but accurate quote from Birkett:

“We're a national disgrace, because we're known not as the State of Lincoln and Reagan now. We're known as the Land of Corruption,” Birkett said."
