SPRINGFIELD - While many Democrats were elated with the election of Barack Obama, the elevation of Illinois' junior senator to the White House on Nov. 4 appears to have irked Gov. Rod Blagojevich. In the 78-page criminal complaint filed against the Illinois governor Tuesday, Blagojevich uses foul language in multiple instances to describe the president-elect.

When Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich committed $8 million in state money to a local children's hospital this fall, federal authorities said he wasn't going to let the precious dollars out of his hands so easily. He demanded a $50,000 campaign contribution from the hospital's chief executive in return. It's among the various accusations against Mr. Blagojevich, who was named last week in a federal criminal complaint on charges of trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's now-vacant U.S. Senate seat.
[Pat Quinn] has called for the impeachment of the governor, but that is a political act. [Rod Blagojevich] will get his opportunity to defend himself in a court of law, and impeachment proceedings will necessarily founder on political maneuvering, not seeking the truth, or justice, just political retribution and gain. The end run to the state Supreme Court, to strip Blagojevich of the governorship because of "disability," proposed by Attorney General Lisa Madigan, is unpalatable, especially since it is no secret that Madigan has designs on the governor's seat. The criminal complaint filed against him last week contains transcripts of taped conversations which paint Blagojevich as a scheming, arrogant, profane profiteer, who sought to derive personal financial and political benefit from ...
SPRINGFIELD - Two commissions created to clean up state government crossed paths Tuesday to discuss ways to improve the monitoring of state contracts. Members of Gov. Pat Quinn's Illinois Reform Commission told the General Assembly's Joint Committee on Government Reform that politics play too big of a role in the awarding of contracts to businesses.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Gov. Rod Blagojevich's lawyer said Monday that a vague array of charges and evidence doesn't merit removing the governor from office, and he urged a House committee not to recommend impeachment. Attorney Ed Genson complained bitterly that lawmakers were considering snippets of tape-recorded conversations that are quoted in a criminal complaint against the Democratic governor. He said no one knows the full context of those remarks or whether they are quoted accurately.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - For Barack Obama, the explosive scandal in his home state involving his Senate seat presents an unwanted diversion but no immediate political danger, analysts say. Even though allegations against Gov. Rod Blagojevich describe his desire for a deal with the president-elect, the criminal complaint offers no evidence that Obama or his aides were aware of potentially illegal offers.
