A number of controversies related to Rod Blagojevich, formerly the Governor of Illinois, were covered in the press during and after his administration.[1] In addition to a reputation for secrecy that was noted by the Associated Press,[2] Blagojevich was the subject of political, legal, and personal controversies similar to those of his predecessor, Republican Governor George Ryan. To the surprise of many, Blagojevich said in 2008 that he agreed with the idea of commuting Ryan's federal prison sentence.[3]
