Chars Life and Times

Our Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich held a press conference on Friday, December 19, 2008 that was broadcast live over our local television stations. Up until then, he has relatively been silent to the public about his charges. In his three minute speech, he stressed that he will be absolved of all charges made against him, and that he has no plan of letting anyone run him out of office. “I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath. I have done nothing wrong,” Blagojevich said. 

Blagojevich has been itching to tell his side of the story even though his attorney really didn’t want him to. Ed Genson, the governor’s attorney, has questioned whether the court ordered wire tapping was legal and can be used in court against Blagojevich. 

Many Illinois lawmakers have requested that Blagojevich step down from the office of governor of Illinois, and he is refusing to do so. The lawmakers also would like to have Blagojevich impeached. The impeachment process could take quite a long time to enact. 

Most Illinois residents, including myself, feel that Governor Blagojevich should just resign and allow Illinois to heal from this terrible ordeal. Our government needs to move on and not spend so much money and time on this troubled governor.
