Governor Blagojevich ramped up fund raising in the last 30 days with people who do business with the State of Illinois. He collected just more than $250,000. The fund raising bill, moved to the governor on May 30th, would prevent contractors with the State contributing to political action committees.
Governor Blagojevich said on Tuesday, July 29th that the bill wasn't tough enough and he wouldn't sign it into law. The legislation would prohibit contractors who have at least $50,000 worth of business with the State from contributing to political campaigns of state-wide elected officials.
