New IL Governor (status quo) OMG!!!
 
Gov. Pat Quinn on Wednesday installed as his chief operating officer an appointee of ousted predecessor Rod Blagojevich who also has close ties to convicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko.

Lavin served as Blagojevich’s director of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity after Rezko recommend Lavin for the post. Lavin once worked as the chief financial officer for Rezko’s food-related business and took more than $12,000 in donations from Rezko’s firm while toying with a run for elected office in 2001.

Lavin served with Quinn after he won the state treasurer’s position in 1990. His new duties include overseeing the distribution of federal stimulus dollars at the state level.

Chicago politics at its best! Now also playing in Washington under the direction of Mr. Obama who uprooted the best and brightest of that fertile political garden to help guide the nation with "fairness" and "truth".
