Quinn says he'll take pension reform to the people | |
August 18, 2012 Gov. Pat Quinn's weeks of calls for lawmakers to cut public pensions ended in failure for the governor, with lawmakers leaving town without a plan ready for him to sign into law. Quinn told reporters he now plans to go to the people with a "grass-roots" campaign. "We have to activate the taxpayers of Illinois," Quinn said. "To move this mountain, it's going to take a mighty effort," he said. Source: http://dailyherald.com/article/20120817/news/708179802/ |
