Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich has sent a note to her neighbors apologizing for the media attention that has besieged her Chicago neighborhood. In the message sent over the weekend, Blagojevich acknowledged "the media barrage that has descended" on her neighborhood.
Cameramen and reporters have been camped outside the governor's home since Rod Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges Dec. 9.
Patti Blagojevich writes that while she and her husband choose a life in public service, their neighbors didn't. She says that she hopes the scrutiny will subside soon for the sake of her children and the neighbor's families.
Blagojevich goes on to wish her neighbors a happy New Year.
