Blagojevich rips Illinois tax hike: ‘I hate the fact I was right about this’

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Besides his taped, profanity-laced conversations and impeachment, Rod Blagojevich is remembered for keeping a lid on the state income tax and giving senior citizens free rides on public transportation while he was governor.

On Thursday, Gov. Quinn signed off on raising the state income tax, and Blagojevich’s other signature accomplishment also may soon be going the way of his governorship if Quinn OKs legislation to roll back the senior-rides program.

Guess who is none too happy.

“I hate the fact I was right about this,” Blagojevich told the Chicago Sun-Times Thursday in his first public comments on this week’s votes in the General Assembly to raise the state income tax and do away with free rides for all seniors.
