Governor Quinn acts on State Budget 

On May 25, 2010, the Illinois General Assembly shirked their duties by passing an unbalanced budget and adding $3.7 billion in new debt that will be passed on to our children and grandchildren! This new debt added to our current $13 billion deficit and doesn’t even begin to address the $80 billion plus in unfunded pension liabilities or the billions of dollars in unfunded Medicaid liabilities.

The General Assembly’s decision to borrow against our future, in-lieu of making the tough choices, like where to cut costs and how to rein in spending, is akin to paying off a Master Card bill by charging it to a Visa Card. 

Governor Quinn had a chance to Veto the entire budget that would’ve forced lawmakers back to have an open debate on how to cut spending, reform state government and pass a budget that is truly balanced.  Unfortunately, the Governor chose to take a different route.
