From the case of indicted Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich:
[I]ntercepted phone conversations between ROD BLAGOJEVICH and others indicate that ROD BLAGOJEVICH is contemplating rescinding his commitment of state funds to benefit Children’s Memorial Hospital because Hospital Executive 1 has not made a recent campaign contribution to ROD BLAGOJEVICH.
If politicians control health care, all of the slime of politics comes along for the ride.

“Pay to Play” has been the way of things in Chicago for what, over a century, now.
Hardly a surprise that Chitown machine politiking has infested the State Gummint.
Hope the bastard burns.
Sorry if that just violated your house rules Les.
