Crossing the line?

Posted in:

Illinois

On Saturday morning, the governor’s state office issued a press release calling on Judy Baar Topinka to support the assault weapons ban. From a state press release:

Governor Rod R. Blagojevich today sent a letter to State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka urging her to change her position and support a statewide assault weapons ban. The Governor believes Topinka, as the only republican statewide officer holder, can help convince republican lawmakers to vote for the ban.

This is dangerously close to crossing over the line of using state resources to campaign. I’ll open comments on Monday.
