The Hammer of RodGovernor Blagojevich has found the ultimate weapon to use against the legislature:
cancelling law enforcement.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich is threatening to lay off 1,800 of the state's roughly 2,000 Illinois State Police troopers in January unless lawmakers approve key budget legislation soon.
Just as Illinois thought they'd escaped
the "Mad Max" future, Blagojevich finds a way to put that back on the table.
The State of Illinois is almost completely controlled by Chicago Democrats. This is what that looks like: gridlock isn't a matter of partisanship, it's a matter of imbecility.
