Governor Mum

Sun Times:

Gov. Blagojevich refused Tuesday to explain his hiring of a convicted felon who did federal prison time for not cooperating in a terrorism probe.

When asked if he could explain his thoughts behind hiring Steven Guerra as a deputy chief of staff, knowing he was a felon, the governor said simply, "No."

Reaction from one of Governor Mum's fellow Democrats in Springfield:

"This might be his first honest answer," said Blagojevich critic state Rep. Jack Franks (D-Woodstock).

His behaviour continues to damage Illinois. More at B3.
