 REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ADAM ANDRZEJEWSKI’S STATEMENT ON BLAGOJEVICH INDICTMENT.
Says “Indictments alone will not solve Illinois’ problems”

Adam Andrzejewski Statement on pending Blagojevich indictment:

April 2nd, 2009—Elmhurst, Illinois. The Chicago Tribune reported that the Office of District Attorney of the Northern District will announce "developments in a ‘significant criminal matter.’” Those “developments” were clarified right around 5:00 PM today.

"The most significant thing about today's announcement," said Andrzejewski, "is that it doesn't fix any of the problems that continue to plague Illinois. The processes and institutions that gave us Rod Blagojevich and George Ryan are still in place, and the people of Illinois deserve something better than more poor leadership from the same cast of characters."

Adam Andrzejewski believes that the first step in overcoming Illinois’ decades of corruption begins with 100% transparency of all state spending. Andrzejewski stated that one of the themes for his campaign.

“Every Dime. On line. In Real Time,” is a necessary ingredient for fixing Illinois. Many of the crimes alleged in the indictment handed down today would have been impossible if citizens could have gone on-line and seen the money, as well as the contracting and bidding processes for state business.

Transparency will shed light on the corruption that has plagued the state of Illinois. It will also allow citizens who have been stripped of power to become part of the political process by giving them the tools to hold their elected leaders accountable.
