Rod Blagojevich, among other things, was accused of pay to play with SEIU. He got ran out of the governor’s office.
On September 14, 2009, Pat Quinn released this video:
Quinn immediately signed an executive order allowing collective bargaining for in-home workers. Most of these workers are family who live in the home in the first place. That didn’t matter to Quinn. The order went so far as to allow SEIU to collect fees from people who opted NOT to unionize.
The workers voted it down overwhelmingly.
The SEIU donated heavily to Kentucky’s governor as well. We’re waiting for a Quinn-esque executive order. The state is pondering moving services from agency services to individual consumer directed options programs. Exactly the arrangement SEIU has been targeting.
They’ve donated tens of millions to Obama.
And people wonder why the public option is so important to Obama and Pelosi.
Someone has suggested a RICO investigation into SEIU. Anyone REALLY think Eric Holder would do that? Go ahead, pull the other one.
