In 2002, Governor Rod Blagojevich (Blago) was already preparing to run for president in 2008. He began courting the big money players, George Soros, Goldman Sachs, etc., lining up commitments. About the same time, Blago arranged for a junior state senator to get the chairmanship of a powerful committee that oversaw health agencies and such in Illinois. Through this state senator, the panel that managed the budgets and projects was stacked with cronies of Blago. The objective was to tap into a $40 Billion dollar pension fund for teachers in Illinois. Projects, like additions to hospitals, would be doled out to companies who were part of the Illinois Combine, and would ‘pay-to-play’ with campaign contributions and jobs for politicians’ friends and relatives. I’ll give you one guess who that state senator was.Just think, some reporters wanted to know what was in Sarah Palin's garbage cans.
