Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich Arrested by FBI

MyFox Chicago Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich Arrested by FBI

Federal authorities arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich Tuesday on charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder.Blagojevich also was charged with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field, according to a federal criminal complaint. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.

A 76-page FBI affidavit said the 51-year-old Democratic governor was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.

Otherwise, Blagojevich considered appointing himself. The affidavit said that as late as Nov. 3, he told his deputy governor that if "they're not going to offer me anything of value I might as well take it."

I have been writing to Federal and Illinois Government officials in Illinois for the last 2 years about alleged corruption in Governor Blagojevich’s office. I wrote President-elect Obama when he was an Illinois Senator. When I worked at Sheridan Correctional Center as a clinical supervisory counselor I suggested corruption in the Governor’s office and Sheridan Correctional Center when AFSCME Union Local 31 conducted a strike at Sheridan Correctional Center on June 6, 2006. I suggested corruption in the Governor’s office with the contract given to West Care Foundation, Inc. at Sheridan Correctional Center to provide counseling services to the inmates. West Care Foundation, Inc. is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. My employment at Sheridan Correctional Center was terminated on or about May 15, 2008. I was a supervisor. When Warden Michael Rothwell took my security clearance on or about May 15, 2008 he did not give me a reason. I wrote Illinois Department of Corrections’ Director Roger Walker, who has not answered my letter to give me a reason why they took my security clearance. Read my writings regarding the indifferent and disparate treatment, and racism at Sheridan Correctional Center on my blog at http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/ and on President-elect Obama’s website. I am posting this comment on my blogs at http://clickforjusticeandequality.wordpress.com/, www.frednance.newsvine.com/ and http://click.townhall.com/, and on President-elect Obama’s website.

I want to suggest a "criminal" conspiracy between Governor Blagojevich, AFSCME Union Local 31 and the Illinois Department of Corrections against Gateway Foundation, Inc. (Gateway) to force them to give up their contractual agreement to provide counseling services at Sheridan Correctional Center (Sheridan) when they allowed the strike of June 6, 2006 at Sheridan and prevented Gateway employees from crossing the picket lines. This conspiracy may involve Governor Blagojevich, Deanne Benos, Roger Walker, Michael Rothwell and officials of AFSCME Union Local 31. This conspiracy paved the way for West Care Foundation, Inc., which may be in bed with this conspiracy. Follow the money. West Care Foundation, Inc. may have bought this contractual agreement from Governor Blagojevich and his government officials. In addition, the contractual vendors for the prison system in Illinois are probably giving "financial" kickbacks to Governor's office for these "sweetheart" contracts. The nepotism engaged and exploited in this "criminal" scheme to keep contracts out of the hands of those who are not "connected" financially to Governor Blagojevich and his cronies pockets continues the corruption in Illinois. This is a "criminal" employment scheme operating out of the Governor's office. Follow the money. This is what I am asking the FBI to investigate.

Corruption in the Blagojevich administration has been the focus of a federal investigation involving an alleged $7 million scheme aimed at squeezing kickbacks out of companies seeking business from the state. Federal prosecutors have acknowledged they're also investigating "serious allegations of endemic hiring fraud" under Blagojevich.

Chicago Tribune: Ill. Gov. Blagojevich in federal custody - Yahoo! News

An official says Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been arrested in Chicago on corruption charges stemming from the selection of the successor to President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat.

What of the "sweetheart" deals at Sheridan Correctional Center, trading favors for contracts? Is Sheridan Correctional Center part of the probe? What about the nepotism?
