Illinois Governor Impeached

Rod Blagojevich served out his final day as governor of the State of Illinois after a unanimous impeachment ruling in Springfield today that removed him from office.  The vote was 59 to 0.  With this governor no longer in power what remains a question is what is Pat Quinn going to do as the new governor of Illinois. Recall that the state is facing a huge deficit, which Quinn will inherit. Hopefully, Quinn will bring Illinois back into a positive light.  As far as the impeachment, Blagojevich has already lost his security detail, his $177,000 governors salary, access to the governors mansion, and government vehicles.
