I know most of you won't care but Our Democratic Gov here in Illinois made his budget speech yesterday. Besides cutting funding to universities, cutting funding to adoption and foster care, and raising fees to taxi from the airport he is closing a prison in my hometown. Now, our population is around 5500 and there are nearly 500 jobs at this prison that we will lose. We will be devastated. Of course, this so-called governor of Illinois, who by the way stays in Chicago and not in the capitol of Springfield, does not seem to care. His only concern in the past was to make sure we had money for him (he made 10,000 for a 30 minute stop here when running) and he sure has no concern now. He has raised over 6 million for his next race which is 3 years away! I guess I'm just venting some anger. But, I will not support this Dem ever in the future and warn all you in KOS-Land to beware of the name of Rod Blagoyavich. He has be mentioned as a possible VP and we need to make sure that doesnt happen. His political grandstanding and money grubbing will not only doom the Dems in Illinois next time he runs but could doom a national ticket.
