What Blago actually sold.

 

Seems that while Blago never actually made arrangements to sell a senate seat, it appears he did actually go through with ruining the toll road system for all of us with personal profit for himself.  thenewspaper.com reports that Blago got $500,000 in a donation to his campaign from the contractor that is in line to benefit from the construction of HOT lanes in the toll road system.

The Chicago area has suffered through construction delays on the toll road system for years now with the open road tolling and rebuilding projects. Now they want to tear it all up again to create HOT lanes. For those that do not know what they are, HOT lanes or High Occupancy Toll lanes are lanes that are reserved for those who can pay a higher toll, those who are in or connected to the political ruling class, or those who drive politically approved vehicles. Meanwhile everyone else suffers in even worse congestion.

There is no surprise that Blago was paid off by a contractor who would benefit from this mess.
