According to Dr. Kent Redfield, UIS professor emeritus of political science, Illinois' legislative troubles since Governor Rod Blagojevich’s arrest last month could jeopardize the state’s involvement with President-elect Barack Obama's economic recovery plan.
The plan would help states rebuild roads, bridges and schools, Obama said.
Redfield's remarks were heard on Chicago Public Radio on January 5, 2009.
