Democratic Governor Blagojevich Gives $1M Illinois Tax Dollars to a Church

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Governor Rod Blagojevich is giving $1 million to the historic Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago because the initial $1 million grant he pledged to the burned out church mistakenly went somewhere else.

Blagojevich says the first $1 million went to a preschool that had been using space at the church before it was destroyed in a 2006 fire.

He says that money went to ''the wrong place.''

His latest grant comes from available capital money he doesn't think has been earmarked for other purposes.

Blagojevich says lawmakers don't need to approve the move.

The money is to be used for church administrative offices and educational purposes so as not to violate the separation of church and state.

You'd think Democrats would be yelling about the separation of church and state: not Illinois Democrats.There is only one Rod Blagojevich.Only one, and Rod knows how to think about people who might be potential jurors.
