With Blago's trial coming up, here's an important fact. Here's a flashback from John Kass ,of the Chicago Tribune, from 2004:

And Blagojevich fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko was recently found to control Rosemont land that will magically sprout into a hotel if Rosemont gets a casino.

You might say this is a mob issue. Something to think about when you consider Rezko, Blago, and Alexi Giannoulias' close friend Barack Obama. The coming Blagojevich trial is really about this casino license: the most valuable thing Blago and Rezko had to sell.
