Gov. Rod Blagojevich's practice of flying from Chicago to Springfield and back for daily budget negotiations is costing Illinois taxpayers more than $5,800 a day, for a total of roughly $76,000 and climbing.
I voted for this guy the first time. I don't know why ANYONE voted for him the second time...

$5,800 a day? Private jet I presume? How much is a first class ticket?

Yep, he flies to Springfield from Chicago in the morning, then home again at night.

But for that kind of money he could fly to Hawaii and back... how does he manage to spend $5,800 a day?

Champaign and hookers on the private jet?

Heck if I know. It's not like the press will ever go into any more detail either.
