A former Republican candidate for governor is demanding an investigation into a mandatory meeting for employees of a state agency that he says turned into a political rally.
Adam Andrzejewski says that meeting last March at the headquarters of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow-PUSH headquarters featured former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who used the occasion to endorse Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. for re-election.
Andrzejewski says the mandatory attendance of workers on state time could violate both state and federal laws.
He plans to forward information about the incident to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.
