		Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has earned his share of criticism - and could use some easy victories to improve his appeal if he wants to win a second term.
		Linda thought the bill in general was good - but objected to the new $10 real estate document fee (for things like housing sales) that will fund the rental housing support (as she objects to other fee increases that hit constituents).
		While I am sympathetic to her anti-fee principled stance, especially since it has become the funding method of choice the last couple of years (see the comments here), I think on balance this is a good bill that deserves the governor's signature.
