I think we can’t afford even the expense of taking them down. We should leave them up and wear them as a badge of shame until such time the state is not operating in the red.

I am thrilled to see that the Illinois Tollway is not wasting any time and is already removing the Blagojevich signs. We don’t need reminders on the way to and from work of how he has blemished the reputation of our state. We’ll have plenty of salt in our collective wound in the months to come. A Chicago Tribune article reported today, “The 32 blue Blagojevich signs were erected in 2004 at a cost of $480,000. McGinnis estimated it would cost $15,000 apiece to change them.” That is another $480,000 wasted. He cost us $1,000,000 of our hard earned tax dollars to feed his ego. I think he should pay it back!
