Rep. Milton Patterson casts lone House vote against Blagojevich impeachment

January 9, 2009

Rep. Milton Patterson was the lone House vote against impeaching Gov. Blagojevich on corruption charges and committing abuses of power.

Patterson said there "wasn't enough" evidence against Blagojevich to merit driving him from office.

"I went by my own gut feeling, simple as that sir," Patterson said when asked about his vote. "That's all I can say. I read the report. If the government is going to indict them, let them do that."

Patterson has represented the 32nd District on the South Side since 2004.

He serves on the House Housing & Urban Development Committee, the Appropriations-Public Safety Committee, Computer Technology Committee and the Electric Utility Oversight Committee.

Patterson earned a Bachelors of Science degree from Southern Illinois University, a Masters of Public Administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago and holds an Electrical Engineering Degree from Chicago Technical College.
