The accusations of presiding Governor of Illinois are not shocking in any way, shape or form based on the state’s history of Governors. The fact that one of the editors of the Chicago Tribune wrote this piece doesn’t exactly make me think that all the evidence incriminating the Governor might be true. The Governor might have a case. I found it odd that the writer had to declare that they were critical of him from the beginning and the Governor tried to barter with the owner to remove members of the Chicago Tribune board. Because of this, the article is definitely biased. Regardless of who wrote the article, I can’t ignore the people of Illinois’ track record for choosing Governors who cheat, lie and steal for money and power. The fact that this has happened off of a great presidential election won by the Senator of Illinois definitely puts a bad taste in the public’s mouth for political leaders in Illinois. I’m positive President-elect, Barrack Obama will make an official statement regarding the incident and will show us that change will come on all levels. Ultimately, as the author of the article points out it is up to the people of the great state of Illinois to choose better leaders and be better informed.
