From tonight's Chicago Tribune: "Just months after launching a new career as a fundraiser for a Chicago homeless agency, Illinois First Lady Patricia Blagojevich has been fired.
On Tuesday, the board of the Chicago Christian Industrial League exercised the termination clause in Blagojevich's contract with the agency, interim Executive Director Mary Shaver confirmed Wednesday. Shaver said she could not discuss why the board fired Blagojevich because it is a personnel issue."
From tonight's Sun-Times: "The Sun-Times reported that, in each of Patti Blagojevich’s first three months on the job, the Christian Industrial League brought in $10,000 to $15,000 a month — the same as it did before she started, according to president William Good." So in other words, they were paying her $100,000 a year and got zippo for it. I'd say that was, at the least, some lousy job performance. Yep, I can see why she got fired.
Maybe she can file for unemployment....
