REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ANDY MARTIN
WILL HOLD “VICTORY” NEWS CONFERENCE THIS EVENING, JANUARY 24TH
INSIDE POLITICS IN ILLINOIS: DID ATTORNEY GENERAL REFUSE TO DEFEND BLAGO IN ANDY’S LAWSUIT?
(CHICAGO)(January 24, 2006) The Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate who led the fight against keno in Illinois and created a web site and statewide task force to bludgeon the Blagojevich administration will hold a news conference this evening, January 24th, to claim victory.
Andy Martin will hold a sidewalk news conference Tuesday, January 24th at 9:45 P.M. to respond to Governor Rod Blagojevich's keno surrender.
"Well, anyone can Google ‘stop keno in Illinois’ and find out I led the attack on Blah Blah Blago,” Martin will state. “My lawsuit to block keno was widely covered in the media. While most of my Republican colleagues/candidates mouthed disapproval of Blago’s proposal, I was the only one that took tough action.
“My understanding is that Blago was told that the Attorney General would not defend him in my lawsuit filed in Sangamon County to block keno. Once again, one of my public interest lawsuits saves the day. When confronted, Blago went for cover, and there was no cover. The AG threw him to the dogs. Blago surrendered. He had no one to defend him in court.
“Once again, I proved that when I attack, public officials surrender. It happened thirty (30) years ago with Big Jim Thompson, reversing himself on the creation of Interstate 39 which I supported, and it happed today when Blago surrendered.
“I don’t see how any sentient creature, let alone a human being, can continue to assert that any of my opponents are seriously ‘frontrunners’ to oppose Blago. I am the only candidate that can take on Blago and send him back to his gangsta haven.
“Keno is dead. Next, Blago’s political career. But only if Republicans stop piddling around and stop acting like kindergarten children, and start supporting a fighter instead of a bunch of talkers.
“Blago obviously has contempt for the legislature, as emperors usually do, or else he would not have proffered keno in his State of the State address. Last week, the ‘State of the State’ was front page news. Today the main revenue proposal lies dead.
“I fought; Illinoisans won. That’s the long and short of it. I will do more of the same as Illinois governor.”
