Apparently Lisa Madigan is staying put - she's having a 2pm presser to announce she's running for re-election.

Who would want to be governor given the current mess that we're in?  Republican or Democrat, he or she is going to inherit one heck of a mess, and no money to fix anything.

VA hospital in Danville had to evacuate some folks this morning... apparently a transformer burst into flames and caused some damage: http://illinoishomepage.net/content/fulltext/?cid=95042

 

Edit to add: The News-Gazette has more information than the illinois homepage blurb here. Apparently the fire damage was to building 103, the mental health building which houses those on voluntary and involuntary lock down as well as other mental health offices.
