Remember earlier when I wrote about how the governor was bending over backwards to placate the Latino Caucus? This just in….
Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Monday appointed a panel to investigate work-related deaths among Illinois’ immigrant laborers, with an eye on tragedies impacting the state’s 1.6 million Hispanics.The increase in the number of injuries and fatalities among Hispanic immigrant workers in the transportation, construction, agriculture, retail and service industries prompted the governor to create the 14-member panel, which includes politicians, immigrant advocates and business leaders. Among the high-profile members are Illinois AFL-CIO President Margaret Blackshere, U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez and Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights Executive Director Josh Hoyt.
They must really have him scared.

Let’s keep this sort of comment to a minimum, OK? Especially if you’re not posting under your own name.
