Reporting with Natasha Korecki
Rod Blagojevich testifies that his deputy governor, Robert Greenlee, advised him against a rate increase for pediatric doctors because it would undermine the governor's budget cuts.
It would open a potential "Pandora's box," said Blagojevich, who said he often felt pressured to grant money to good causes. "I'm generally a soft touch," Blagojevich says. "It's hard to say no."
Still, he testifies that he told Greenlee: "I don't want to hear all that," he said. "Just find the money."
