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.
