Officeholders Not Entitled
Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich’s blatant misuse of his office reveals what too many politicians feel after being elected: Entitlement.
Hey pols, you're then to represent the people, not serve your self or your party.
Though Blagojevich’s actions were particularly brazen, we see the same corrupt use of office from our own Attorney General, J.B. Van Hollen, fighting for the Republican Party and trying to make voting like navigating a DMV phone answering tree.
An elected office is not licence to enrich yourself or your political party, it's for the people.
