Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich insisted Friday that he is not connected to corruption at a teachers pension fund and that he does not tolerate misconduct by anyone who works for him. Two people pleaded guilty Thursday to taking part in a scheme to demand consulting fees from investment firms wanting to do business with the pension fund. They said in their plea agreements that they were told the payments were used to reward campaign donors for the benefit of a "high-ranking public official."
