ICPR and two campaign finance reform allies filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of Illinois' campaign contribution limits. The submission comes in response to a challenge by a political group seeking the ability to contribute unlimited amounts to candidates in the weeks before the November general election.
The jury in last summer's trial found Rod Blagojevich guilty of making a false statement to the FBI but could not reach unanimous agreement on the other charges. In an effort to streamline the case, prosecutors dropped three charges against the former governor: racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, and one count of wire fraud.
ICPR would like to thank Jason Seiler for the use of his portrait of Ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich. To view Jason's other great work, visit his site at http://jasonseiler.com/.
