CHICAGO (AP) - A Chicago homeless agency has fired Illinois' first lady from her $100,000-a-year job as its chief fundraiser.
The Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times report that the Chicago Christian Industrial League exercised a termination clause of Patti Blagojevich's contract Tuesday.
Interim Executive Director Mary Shaver told the papers she can't discuss personnel issues.
The organization hired Blagojevich last year. Her husband, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, was arrested in December in a federal fraud and bribery case.
Patti Blagojevich isn't accused of wrongdoing. But prosecutors say a recorded telephone call captured her expletive-laced suggestion to "just fire" newspaper editors if the Tribune Co. wanted state assistance to sell Wrigley Field.
