Will there be another Tribune editorial on the subject?
Another ousted Democratic Party State Senator has gained a little-work sinecure from an appointment made by Governor Pat Quinn.
And in discussing it with a Chicago Tribune reporter, Quinn is bold enough to link it to hiking income taxes:
“The governor said Smith has been ‘friend of mine for quite some time,’ noting that Smith once sponsored a resolution on Quinn’s behalf calling for the state to raise income taxes on those who make more than $250,000, with the money going toward education.”
Most people can connect the dots.
Has anyone ever counted how many people an IL Governor appoints to political office in a particular year?
The Feds must have a “1 governor at a time” rule because Quinn is much more rotten than Blago. I do not understand how he is not fast tracked to prison with his blatant pay to play schemes.
