Blagojevich campaign fund pays $1.1 million to law firm
Headline News
A Chicago law firm has received more than $1.1 million in legal fees from Governor Rod Blagojevich's (bluh-GOY'-uh-vitchz) campaign fund since 2006.
So far this year, the governor's campaign has paid Winston and Strawn more than $163,000.
The campaign reported raising 374,000 & $352 in the first six months of this year, while spending $767,000 & $551. That left 283,000 & $782 in cash.
Blagojevich campaign spokesman Doug Scofield declined to release details about the legal work performed by Winston and Strawn but said the campaign uses the firm for all its legal work.
The campaign has paid legal fees to Winston and Strawn since 2003.
The amounts increased significantly after a federal investigation was launched into administration hiring practices.
