The Rod Blagojevich trial has captured the attention of the country more so than any other story, with the exception possibly of the Chelsea Clinton wedding, American Idol judging fiasco, or anything Lindsay Lohan. But the State of Illinois needs attention also! “significant” Statehouse developments have gone unnoticed by the public due to shameless grandstanding by all parties involved.  Illinois has the largest budget deficit in the nation, if you ignore about a third of the other states in our nation.  We have high property taxes, sales tax, and state income tax to pay, and in return we get nothing but reduced services, laid off teachers, and politicians that can’t get anyone to bribe them.  Without bribes, how will the Jacobs family and others survive?  The media needs to quit forcing celebrity scandal down our gullets and instead feed us a diet of real news, so we can be aware of how deep into the septic tank we have sunk.
