Must be nice
According to Bernie over at the State Journal Register "Gov. Rod Blagojevich didn't file his family tax returns by the April deadline, opting to get an extension until mid-October."
What was his reasoning for needing the extension?
"He's busy running the state," said gubernatorial spokeswoman Rebecca Rausch.
You’ve got to love that whenever anything Rod does is questioned, they pull out that old line.
Say, if he’s so busy running the State, why couldn’t the General Assembly meet their adjournment deadline, and why did Emil Jones provide Senators another week off?
Oh, and it looks like running the State doesn't get in the way of this:
The first-term incumbent can afford an early TV ad strategy thanks to an enormous campaign account--one that was enriched at a fundraising event Wednesday night at the Field Museum that carried a minimum price tag of $1,000 per person. His traditional spring fundraisers have helped him amass about $15.5 million in campaign cash on hand at the end of last year.
Another thing, if he doesn't need an extension, why does A-Rod?

Let's see, I work two jobs, my wife works part time and my kids take up a lot of our time...yet I got my taxes in.
More like he's too busy campaigning to take care of his own house and the State, Abe.
So let me see if I got this right...not only has Rod ruined the State's pensions, he can't even keep his own financial house in order? That's encouraging!
Who cares?
I care senoranon, thanks for asking. It just goes to show how full of it this governor is.
Even if you file for an extension you still have to pay, and if you underpay you're responsible for interest and penalties. Jeez, going after Rod is like shooting fish in a barrel, why muddy the waters with a non-starter like this.
try again.
I went to G-Rod's fundraiser at the Field Museum. (Kinda weird, eh?)
I ran into a bunch of people I knew. I don't think any of them paid $1,000 to get in.
Some of their organizations paid for tix, but only a small fraction of the attendees paid their way with personal money, based on my observation.
cry us a river anon 3:27, this just shows a pattern is all...we look forward to your blog.

pattern of what, moron? What does getting a legal extension on filing an income tax return have to do with anything else?
Take off your blinders anon 9:39...why does Rod need an extension every year, why can't he keep his house in order, God knows he can't lead this state, how's that, moron.
Why don't you girls leave the name calling at the playground.
If you file for an extension - you still have to file. And you still have to pay. In fact, you're forced to estimate your payment, and pay it by the deadline.
3:27 is right. Every time people burst into hysterics over trivia, the more they sound like a pack of Chicken Littles - declaring the sky falling.
Why can't Rod hire an accountant?
sen...just shows a pattern, not sure why you're not able to get this. He can't get his house in order, yet he keeps using the excuse he's too busy governing, when he's not, he's campaigning.
Is it that hard to figure out? geez you guys are dumb.
Rod is a big picture guy and not a process person.
Only Hynes is process oriented.
Rod wants you to pay for his goals and do his process.
