Whistleblower in Blago Case: Corruption 'Never Ceased to Amaze Me'
Hospital CEO Pamela Davis Wore FBI Wire for 8 Months
Citizens Must Stand Up to Political Corruption
When Blagojevich was arrested by Fitzgerald for allegedly trying to sell the seat, Davis felt "vindicated for all of those meetings" in which her hospital plans were rejected and competitors "were not so silently chuckling."
"I felt for the first time somewhat vindicated for the humiliation we have experienced over the last five years," she said.
The Illinois House voted to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich today and now the vote will move to the state Senate, where a trial will be conducted to remove Blagojevich from office. Davis says the governor should step down immediately.
"I really think he should step down immediately so that the state of Illinois can begin to function more appropriately and to go about doing the business of the state of Illinois for all of its citizens," she said.
Davis says that citizens who believe in good government should take this is a lesson to stand up to political corruption against all odds.
"I believe society is a better place if each of us as individuals tries to be a good citizen. And that means more than simply following the rules. But if I in fact see something that is not right or corrupt, I do feel that it is my responsibly to stand up and really work to try and correct those issues."
