On December 9th, 2008 at approximately 6:30 in the morning, our governor, Rod Blagojevich was arrested at his home. What were the charges or allegations? He has been accused of trying to sell President Elect Barack Obama's senate seat. It is unclear, as of now, as to if this is true or not, but the governor maintains that he has done nothing wrong. But does that mean that we still should not impeach him? Or accuse him of doing something wrong as a governor? Well, almost immediately following his arrest, the House of Representatives in the Illinois Government began the work to impeach the governor. Should he be impeached? In my opinion, yes he should be impeached. He has just added to the long history of Illinois governor's who have broken the law. I would prefer for Blagojevich to resign before the HOR gets to the point of impeachment but he maintains his innocence and in this country, he does have that right. But what does this mean for Illinois? It means that we are unlikely to get the Olympics to Chicago in 2016 because of the scandals and the fact that if we can not even manage to have a decent governor how can they expect us to manage the Olympics? Well, it is just the way the cookie crumbles. What do you think? Have we lost our shot at having the Olympics? Should Blagojevich resign?
