Chvala speaks on Blagojevich scandal

December 12, 2008 By WRN Contributor

A man who tumbled in Wisconsin's biggest political scandal in recent memory reflects on the ordeal facing Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Former state Senate Majority Leader Chuck Chvala recalls some dirty players in the Legislature during the caucus scandal, many of which were there to use their office to line their pockets. Chvala says it appears Blagojevich may have fallen into the category.

Chvala also commented on rumors that the Illinois Governor suffers from a mental illness. If that's the case, he says it's unfortunate that Blagojevich is facing the same kind of media attacks as someone like Brittany Spears.

Chvala says there's a large untold story regarding his role in Wisconsin's own caucus scandal, but he's not yet ready to tell his side of the story. Chvala served nine months in jail after striking a plea deal on charges of illegal campaign activities.
