Fumigation gets flushed

Turns out the Illinois Senate will not take up the so-called "fumigation bill" that would force the governor to dump a bunch of holdovers from Gov. Ryan and Blagojevich still on Quinn's payroll.

Here's the statement sent out by the Illinois Senate president's office:

"After further review of the legislation and the possibility of
litigation, the Senate President has reconsidered the need for the
fumigation bill. To date, Governor Quinn has made 67 appointments that
are subject to Senate confirmation. The Senate President recognizes the
progress and pace of change made by the Governor. He does not intend to
call the bill for a vote."
