New Book Out on Blagojevich Impeachment

It was one of the most dramatic events to ever occur in the hallowed halls of the Illinois State Capitol. A new book looks back on the impeachment trial of former Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Author Bernard Sieracki has written "A Just Cause, The Impeachment and Removal of Governor Rod Blagojevich". A longtime lobbyist, Sieracki witnessed every moment of the proceedings that drove Blagojevich from office. He says Blagojevich never took it seriously for various reasons, including a dream of moving to Pennsylvania Avenue.

The book is being released this month through the Southern Illinois University Press. Sieracki now teaches public administration at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and at the Stuart School of Business, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago.
