* 5:43 pm - Another edition of the Friday evening massacre…
llinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has named a veteran former lawmaker to head the state’s Department of Natural Resources.
Kurt Granberg, a 55-year-old Carlyle Democrat, was appointed Friday. He was named to the $133,000-a-year post for a term ending January 2011.
Granberg has served in the House of Representatives since 1987 and was assistant majority leader under Speaker Michael Madigan. He resigned his seat before the House voted Jan. 9 to impeach Blagojevich.
Predicted spin: “I’m still the governor and this is a legal appointment.”
Predicted response: “Not for much longer, dude.”
* 5:47 PM - Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn’s new “Reform Illinois Now” commission has been appointed. Members include the Rev. Scott Willis, whose six children were killed in an accident which eventually led to the downfall of George Ryan. The full commission membership list is here.
