Quinn for Illinois

Governor Quinn’s strong action today makes the contrast between the two candidates even sharper.

After a thorough review of the state budget, Governor Quinn struck a balance - cutting $1.4 billion in state spending, while protecting healthcare, education, and public safety programs to nurture Illinois' economic recovery.

As a member of the Illinois General Assembly, Senator Brady had the chance to lead this session. Instead, he stood in the way of every constructive plan that was put forward and has routinely placed politics ahead of Illinois residents.

He’s proposed a billion-dollar tax cut for big businesses without specifying how he’d pay for it. He has called for a 10 percent across-the-board cut for state departments, which would drastically reduce vital services such as education, health care, and public safety while making the state ineligible for federal matching funds. And he’d lower the minimum wage for hard-working families.

Bill Brady's every economic proposal has been derided by experts. It's apparent that Senator Brady fails to understand the complexities of our budget.
