He makes us miss Blago! :eek:

Basically he says the money that is supposed to go to you (in income tax revenue) will be withheld unless you DO AS I SAY!!! This is Chicago politics at its worst folks. He is not able to do this. This is Quinns money! Its the money of the tax payors of the individual cities. This is the method of a gangster and bully not the leader of a state! Quinn is a piece of dogshit that needs to go. Worst Governor in IL history!!!

Quinn wants to withhold cities' money as pressure to borrow billions - chicagotribune.com
SPRINGFIELD— — Gov. Pat Quinn wants to stop nearly $100 million in monthly payments to Chicago, the suburbs and other Illinois towns if lawmakers won't let him borrow billions of dollars to pay overdue bills, according to a confidential memo the Tribune obtained Thursday.

The idea drew immediate blowback from local leaders worried about balancing their own budgets in a sluggish economy.

"To me, it sounds like they're holding us hostage," said Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki, a former Republican legislator.

The proposal, outlined in the memo and quietly distributed to top legislators, represents a pressure tactic by the Democratic governor. He hopes mayors from Zion to Cairo will squeeze their town's lawmakers to help get him the loan he wants.

This is the money owed to the cities! Quinn you're a piece of shit!
At stake is the share of the state income tax that flows to cities and villages. It's doled out every month based on population and currently adds up to a little more than $1 billion a year. Quinn wants to turn off the spigot if he can't win approval for borrowing.
