Business owner helped brother-in-law get on Blagojevich administration payroll -- then landed state contract

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A secret hiring database kept by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration is shedding new light on a controversy over lucrative pressure-washing jobs that went to a Cicero company owned by a major Blagojevich campaign contributor.

The contributor -- William Mologousis, owner of Pressure Washing Systems Environmental Inc. -- helped his brother-in-law Robert Millette land a $95,000-a-year job as the Illinois Department of Transportation's finance and administration chief in 2003, the records show.
No word yet from former Illinois Department of Transportation official Dan Stefanski on this one.
