Sincere or Sensationalizing

Sometimes this isn't a good thing, from the Daily Herald's Animal farm:

A year after a Minnesota bridge collapse sent people tumbling to their deaths, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich reflects on the situation and uses it to try to prod approval of his $34 billion gambling-expansion-for-road-construction plan.

Here's the text of his announcement:

Governor Blagojevich recognizes anniversary of Minnesota bridge collapse

Governor applauds IDOT for diligence in keeping Illinoisans safe; emphasizes need for capital plan to address infrastructure needs

The governor doing what it is said he does best, govern by press release. Go over there to read the release itself. Via Capitol Fax! Read up on the continued negotiations on a capital budget.
