It's smoke and mirrors. Governor Blago has refused to raise taxes
throughout his administration, and now he's sold off most of the
state's assets, closed all the parks and historical sites (in this
year of Lincoln's 200th birthday when many tourists will actually make
a trip here), and we're still broke halfway through the fiscal year.
It's pathetic that he's a crook, but it's even worse that he can't
balance the !#&*((# budget.
