Months after the arrest of disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, he is still keeping his name in headlines. The recently appointed defense team of three savvy lawyers, who will be working for the nominal fee of $110 per hour, per person, looks to add another lawyer, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The whole thing is a mess. The cost is not the case for concern here, although it’s a pressing issue as Blago looks to deplete his campaign funds of more than $2 million in this battle.
