Rod, Rod, He’s our man….
Monday, Feb 7, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller The first media report about the governor’s southern Illinois trip is positive. Governor Rod Blagojevich (bluh-GOY’-uh-vitch) toured southern Illinois today to publicize economic success stories. Cheerleaders? I wonder what their cheers were. OK, let’s keep the comments clean on this one, please. We’re starting to get a bad reputation, although I stuck up for y’all in comments. UPDATE: That new trucking terminal looks like a big win for Illinois and a loss for that allegedly pro-business state of Missouri (from a press release): USF Holland Inc., an operating company of USF Corporation (Nasdaq: USFC - News), announced that it has broken ground on a new terminal in Edwardsville, Illinois which will serve the southern Illinois and St. Louis Metro area. The terminal will replace an older, smaller terminal in the USF Holland system. […] The taxpayers had to pony up, though. “USF Corporation wishes to acknowledge Gov. Blagojevich for the financial assistance provided by the Opportunity Returns program,” said Thomas E. Bergmann, Chief Executive Officer of USF Corporation.
