Chicago, Jan. 31 : Rod Blagojevich's estranged father-in-law Ald. Dick Mell (33rd) has claimed that he contemplated resigning shortly before the Illinois Senate ousted him as governor. This is in total contradiction of what Blagojevich was telling the public.
Blagojevich's publicist, Glenn Selig, denied Mell's claim. "That is 100 percent not true," Selig said. "He never, ever considered resigning at any time," Selig said.
