Dems Feud in Illinois

The Do-Nothing Dems continue to feud in Illinois. Sun Times:
Illinois would be a national "laughingstock" if state leaders keep feuding over how to finance a statewide construction program and blow an October deadline to get $9 billion in federal matching funds, Rep. Mark Kirk said Monday. [snip]

The money has been in the federal budget waiting to go to Illinois since 2005. But Gov. Blagojevich, state House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) and other leaders in Springfield have tangled over how to finance the state's portion of the tab to build roads, schools and other projects. Blagojevich has blamed Madigan for refusing to discuss options.
Illinois held hostage by Democrat incompetence.
