“Woman with ties to Patti Blagojevich involved in scheme to ‘rip off taxpayers’”
Let me get this straight…Ms. Mahajan used a no bid contract to overcharge the state for urine tests her company performed, and she is the crook?!
Umm..who exactly at the state was responsible for the oversight of this contract? Everyone else is charging $x for a test, and Ms. Mahajan’s firm charges $x+$y? And why does she have a no bid contract?
The state employee is the one who is responsible for ripping off the taxpayers, not Ms. Mahajan.

Patti and Rod Blagojevich are made of TEFLON, actually the whole administration is.
So forgettaboutit!

Your husband owns a bank, and still it’s not enough for you.

Has Mrs. Blagojevich been named in any lawsuits to date?

Sky King: You may be right - in fact I’m sure you’re right. Rod’s hairdo appears to indeed be made out of Teflon. Shiny, stiff and never moves.

GET RID OF RESIDENTS ONLY PARKING. The streets are public property, funded by all taxpayers. When you buy a home, you do not buy the segment of street in front of your house and are not entitled to a parking space there. Also, get rid of special service districts used to soak the adjacent residents for infrastructure repairs on public property.
