Ex-Gov Green Defends Hiring in Illinois State Work
Former Illinois Governor Dwight Green calls hiring reports by state newsmen untrue and unfair. He says reporters were paid to perform jobs, not write pro administration editorials, citing $200 to $250 monthly wages and highlighting Arnold Benson as agriculture director. The Post-Dispatch and Chicago Daily News claimed about 51 editors earned roughly $480,000 in state funds. Green accuses the Democratic Post-Dispatch of bias.
