New state moto for Illinois

Since I was born & raised in Illinois, I find this rather humorous...

Illinois
Where our Governors make your licenses plates.

Gov.Rod R. Blagojevich is just keeping up with tradition!

The following is from Wikipedia

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_Illinois"

Six Illinois governors have been charged with crimes, either during their administrations or after. The first, Lennington Small, was acquitted. Otto Kerner, Jr., Daniel Walker, and George Ryan all served time in prison. William G. Stratton was acquitted of tax evasion charges. Current governor Rod Blagojevich was charged by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald with several offenses, including mail fraud and wire fraud, and attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat for personal financial and influential gain.
