Legal analyst Kendall Coffey details the low points of 2008 in his web
page “Legal Commentary and Analysis by Kendall Coffey” At the top of the report, Coffey discusses about the biggest controversy that had happened in Illinois.

Rod Blagojevich, Governor of Illinois, shocked the country as he was apprehended due to corruption charges. With pressure already accumulating, his self-indulgence hit the peak in late 2008 and several wiretaps showed efforts to extort a children’s hospital and a leading newspaper including applicants for gubernatorial arrangements.

Blagojevich had replaced former governor George Ryan, who also faced the same issue. The latter is serving a six and a half year sentence in the Federal Correctional Institution. Kendall Coffey also said, “Blagojevich’s remarkably brazen scheme may be prompting prison officials to consider opening a governor’s wing.”
