It looks like the Governor of Illinois has launched a Blogspot blog in order to promote his tax increase and to respond to critics of the tax. The author, Douglas Kane, takes much the same tone in the blog as Mr. Blagojevich takes in his speeches, that anyone that disagrees is an idiot and beyond contempt.

Mr. Kane, from his short bio on Blogspot, is a former state representative that also writes for the group blog Illinoize, though he is not listed as an author by that website. He’s an economist (little e) and President of a public policy think tank. I don’t know what his connection to the Governor’s office is, if any. I’ve added the site to my Google Reader list and will watch how he begins to tackle other criticisms that are lobbed at the Governor’s plan.
