The Governor's Friend Rezko

The Tribune has an excellent story today detailing the governor's ties:

Antoin "Tony" Rezko has long been one of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's top fundraisers and closest confidants, even recommending candidates for Cabinet directors and state boards and commissions.

But newly obtained public records, including lawsuit documents, show a close circle of Rezko business investors and their relatives received jobs and appointments to influential state posts. The records show Rezko's ties with the Blagojevich administration are far more extensive than were previously known.

Some interesting comments here from Rich Miller's post and my earlier post related to Rezko, Follow the Money.
