More troubles for Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. From AP via CBS 2 Chicago:
An excerpt:
The inspector general appointed two years ago by Gov. Rod Blagojevich to watch out for governmental misconduct is resigning, while Attorney General Lisa Madigan has launched another review of the administration.
Zaldwaynaka ``Z'' Scott said Tuesday she would leave in July to become a partner at a private law firm. She said that her decision to leave was unrelated to allegations of mismanagement and cronyism leveled against the administration that are being investigated by Madigan's office.
On Tuesday, Madigan said she was looking into the results of a state audit that found the Illinois State Lottery paid for advertising and promotion without proper documentation.
A state audit found that Illinois paid R.J. Dale Advertising & Public Relations of Chicago $7.1 million to promote the lottery, but the firm could demonstrate only $2 million worth of work.
Madigan said she wanted the working papers Auditor General William Holland used in his review.
``We have reached out to the auditor general and will be talking to him about the lottery audit,'' Madigan said.
This may have been a good time for Zaldwaynaka ''Z'' Scott to leave. It's only going to get worse in the inspector general's office.
