Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan held a press conference today discussing a motion to have the IL State Supreme Court remove Governor Blagojevich and replace him with Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn.
The press conference was carried by all the cable news networks except for ABC, and CBS and CNBC. All the cable news networks cut off the press conference, while WGN held its cameras steady.
The A.G. filed a temporary restraining order against Blago. She also said that the state has nearly one billion dollars in Medicaid payments that need to be made to providers, and without a signature from the acting governor, the payments cannot be made.
The temporary restraining order keeps Blago away from his ink pen regarding any actions with the Tollway Authority, and other potentially costly decisions he would otherwise make.
