Illinois Democrats sought to reassure voters Wednesday that they have moved beyond the scandals of Rod Blagojevich, while two party leaders began delicately criticizing one another in the race for governor.
The shadow of Blagojevich, the governor who was booted out of office in January, hung over the party’s annual State Fair gathering. When his name came up, it was from someone complaining about the financial mess he left behind or promising to be a different kind of Democrat.
‘There is a lot of work we will have to do, door to door and by phone, to rebuild the trust of the people of the state of Illinois,’ said Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
