Burris Rejects Blagojevich's Offer Of Washington Office Space

CNN Political Ticker:

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has offered Burris space in the state's Washington office, which rests at the foot of Capitol Hill.

"The way we look at it is that Roland Burris is the junior senator from Illinois," Clayton Harris, the governor's acting chief of staff, told CNN Tuesday. "So if necessary, if he needs office space, we have made it available as we would do for any Illinois senator or representative (in Washington) just as we would in the state of Illinois at any of our facilities."

Update: A Burris associate tells CNN that Burris rejected Blagojevich's offer to use his office space.
