From Capitol Fax Blog:
A Chicago homeless agency has fired Illinois First Lady Patricia Blagojevich from her job as its chief fundraiser.
The board of the Chicago Christian Industrial League on Tuesday exercised the termination clause of Blagojevich’s contract, according to interim executive director Mary Shaver. She said she could not discuss why the board terminated Blagojevich because it is a personnel issue.
The Tribune first reported five months ago that the group hired Blagojevich, who amid federal scrutiny left her longtime job of being a real estate agent and broker. She was earning about $100,000 a year as the league’s development director.
* The governor, by the way, missed yet another impeachment trial deadline today. He had the right, under Rule 15, to request subpoenas.
The House has filed documents with the Senate under the aforementioned rule, and they will be posted soon at the impeachment tribunal’s website.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s brother said Wednesday the FBI may have recorded as many as 50 of his telephone conversations as part of the federal investigation of corruption in state government.
Robert Blagojevich, who chairs the governor’s Friends of Blagojevich campaign fund, made the statement through his attorneys in papers filed in U.S. District Court in the fraud and bribery case against the governor.
Attorney Michael D. Ettinger said federal prosecutors had given him only one tape of Robert Blagojevich on the telephone but he believes “there are 30 to 50 more conversations wherein he was recorded.”

You would think a charitable organization that supports the oppressed would pay lower, and you would think that someone taking this type of postition would not mind a more reasonable salary.
But the greedy Patti needs to afford the big home on the North side of Chicago in the Ravenswood area.
Patti has join the millions of Americans who also have lost their jobs. Time for G-Rod to make some deals or he'll be unemployed and Patti will have to apply for Welfare checks and Food Stamps.
