Governor spent $1 million against videogames

Posted on Sunday, 27 May 2007 by Speed, source: Gamepolitics
Gamepolitics is reporting that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich spent no less than $1 million trying to appeal a court ruling that prevented him from banning violent games

The amount spent was uncovered by an Illinois House committee earlier this week. Accoring to QCO:

The governor raided funds throughout state government to pay for the litigation. Some of the areas money was taken from included the public health department, the state’s welfare agency and even the economic development department.

Some people really don't know where their priorities are. I mean... come on! Spending public health money in order to appeal to a court ruling about violent videogames? What is this guy thinking???

This guy makes my state look like utter shit. Pretty soon he's going start taxing businesses up the wazoo, probably to pay for more crap like this. All the companies will probably take their business elsewhere and therefore he won't have to fight video game suits because you won't be able to find a shop to buy them in. Clown...
