The Rev. James Meeks pulled the plug on his fledgling third-party campaign for governor today after Gov. Blagojevich promised to unveil a 4-year “comprehensive” education funding plan.“I’m saying, I’m off the ballot. Forget it,” the independent South Side state senator said at a news conference at the downtown Unions League Club.
“I have made my final decision that I am not a candidate,” Meeks said.
He had printed People First T-shirts in blue and white for a campaign kickoff tomorrow. Why he would trust the governor is beyond me.
So that's that.
