Ill. Governor Ryan Plans Big Announcement Friday

This was in our email box today:

"Gov. George Ryan is expected to make a major announcement about the death penalty Friday, but it is not clear whether that announcement will include his decision on commuting the sentences of every man and woman on death row. Ryan is scheduled to speak at DePaul University, Chicago. The governor, who leaves office Monday, is contemplating reducing the sentences of more than 150 people."

Meanwhile, the website that was set up to support Gov. Ryan's nomination for the Nobel Prize has registered over 1,100 visitors since Dec. 24.
