Illinois’ only governor to be impeached and removed from office was back at the Dirksen federal courthouse in downtown Chicago on Monday, but this time it was on his own volition rather than as a defendant in criminal proceedings that resulted in his conviction on charges of corruption, including attempted extortion and conspiracy to commit bribes.
Blagojevich, an attorney whose license to practice law was revoked as a result of his conviction, was there to file a criminal complaint that would allow him to get back into another previous profession: politics.

MOUNDSVILLE Shareholders in the Moundsville Country Club are being contacted to determine the future of the 81-year-old institution after the club has received a purchase offer from the Regional Economic Development Partnership.
The partnership, commonly referred to as “RED,” offered $8.025 million in July 2019 to buy the country club and its 163.5 acres of land just south of Moundsville along W.Va. 2. The letter of intent from RED has a closing date of Dec. 31, 2021, club officials said.
MOUNDSVILLE A woman is suing Walmart after she fell and was injured while on the store s property.
Frances Donahue was at the Walmart store in Moundsville on Sept. 23 and was visiting the hair salon inside the store when she leaned against the accordion-style doors while she was waiting to get her hair done and the doors collapsed, causing her to fall to the floor and suffer injuries, according to a complaint filed in Marshall Circuit Court.
Donahue claims Walmart owed a duty to her and other business invitees to maintain its stores in a reasonably safe manner and failed to do so, which caused her to be exposed to unnecessary risk and caused her injuries. She claims if the doors had been properly maintained and secured, she would not have been injured.

MOUNDSVILLE A man who faced decades behind bars is a free man after the court found that the prosecution followed improper procedure in his indictment.
Michael Daniel “Dan” Bowman, now 41, was initially convicted in July 2017 of sexual abuse by a custodian, sexual assault, and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse, with his sentences running consecutively for a sentence of 28 to 70 years. His case was heard by Judge Jeff Cramer and prosecuted by Rhonda Wade, who has since retired as Marshall County’s prosecutor. She now serves as an assistant prosecutor. Wade was not available for comment.
