He has some excellent coverage of the Illini Mascot issue and especially a full response from Lisa Madigan concerning the Emerald Casino License Settlement, go check it out.
More on the Emerald issue later, but I think Madigan’s defense of the settlement is a good explanation. She isn’t happy and neither am I, but reality set in from the looks of it.
On the mascot issue–go far enough down on Eric’s blog and one has to wonder whether the mascot was cover for the tuition increase.
