CHICAGO - “The people of Illinois are entitled to be
represented by two senators in the United States
Senate. As governor, it is my duty and obligation to
appoint a senator when there is a vacancy. I have
done that by appointing Roland Burris, a good and
decent man with a long history of public service in
Illinois. Any allegations against me should not be
held against him and especially not the people of
Illinois,” Governor Rod R. Blagojevich said.
