That’s what future Governor Pat Quinn told the Chicago Tribune.

The egotistical signs cost $15,000 each.

It takes 37,500 forty-cent tolls to raise $15,000 to pay for each sign.

It takes 1.2 MILLION passes through the automatic toll lanes to pay for all 32 signs.

Pretty expensive for campaign signs.

The vendor, Western Remac Inc., based in Woodridge, gave $1,200 to Blagojevich’s 2002 bid for governor. It had been a tollway vendor for two decades when the contract was signed.

You will note Blagojevich does not have his name on signs where the roads turn into freeways.

I wonder if Quinn will also take down Blagojevich’s name off the “Welcome to Illinois” signs at the state line.

When Governor Dan Walker came into office, one of the first things he did was take Republican Governor Richard Ogilvie’s name off those signs and replace it with “The People of Illinois.”
