Quinn Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic
Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady said that Governor Pat Quinn's proposed budget that he just presented to the General Assembly does not contain the financial reforms needed to turn the state's economy around. "Governor Quinn's matinee performance today was just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic," said Brady. "Instead of reforming state spending and lowering taxes to gain more jobs, Governor Quinn's budget continues to increase spending and has no strategic plan for bringing businesses and jobs back to Illinois that have been lost since he and his Democratic friends raised taxes 67%."

All these Quinncidences
Chicago Tribune EditorialAn Illinois payback in three acts:July 29, 2010: "Flider Continues to Oppose Income Tax Increase"— Press release from state Rep. Bob Flider, D-Mount Zion. The Decatur Herald & Review later reports that, while campaigning for re-election in October 2010, Flider called Gov. Pat Quinn's proposed 1-percentage-point personal income tax hike "the absolute last thing we need to be doing," and urged that Illinois "eliminate waste" and make "hard choices." On Election Day, Flider is defeated.Jan. 13, 2011: "Flider supports income tax increase during final day in office after campaigning against it"— Decatur Herald & Review on Flider's vote for a 2-percentage-point tax increase, which House Democrats passed by one vote.

IL GOP Chairman to Cullerton: Prove that you're not a co-conspirator in the 'Quinn Pro Quo'
Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady launched an online petition for citizens to demand that Illinois State Senate President John Cullerton oppose State Senate confirmation of former State Representative Bob Flider (D-Mount Zion) as Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. “If John Cullerton allows the State Senate to confirm Flip-Flop Flider to lead an agency that oversees one of Illinois’ most important industries, it will lead us to believe that John Cullerton is a co-conspirator in a late night, lame duck ‘Quinn Pro Quo’ that gave all taxpayers – including those in the agriculture industry - a 66% tax hike that passed by only one vote in each chamber of the state legislature,” said Brady.In his unsuccessful 2010 re-election campaign, Flider told voters he was opposed to Governor Pat Quinn’s proposed tax increase but on his last full day in office in 2011, Flider ‘flip-flopped’ and cast the deciding...

Yet Another Quinn Pro Quo?
Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady condemned reports that Governor Pat Quinn was going to name former State Representative Bob Flider (D – Mount Zion) as Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.“This is just another ‘Quinn Pro Quo,’” said Brady. “Governor Quinn and his Democratic pals thought they could wait a year for no one to remember Bob Flider’s lame duck, late night flip-flop on Pat Quinn’s 66% tax hike but our state’s economy is still suffering the consequences of Flip Flop Flider’s ‘Quinncidence.’”“Agriculture is one of our state’s most important industries. It’s an insult to every Illinois farmer who has to pay taxes that the Governor would appoint an Agriculture Director who would oppose a proposed tax hike when he was running for re-election but then cast the deciding vote for an even larger tax hike just a few months later,” said Brady. “What key agriculture issues will...

Caterpillar CEO Blasts Illinois Business Climate
Excerpts from Huffington Post:Illinois Governor Pat Quinn once again found himself on the defense this weekend after another Illinois CEO slammed the state's business climate. Last week, Peoria-based Caterpillar, Inc. -- which employs 23,000 people in the state -- announced that it would build a new plant in North Carolina rather than Illinois, the Bloomington Pantagraph reports. The facility is being built to handle work being relocated from Japan, and 1,400 jobs are expected to be created.Quinn told reporters Sunday that he had met with Caterpillar executives, and that the plant location was about geography, not politics."We don't have any ocean front property in Illinois, so with that particular facility we weren't in the ball game to begin with," Quinn said Sunday, according to the Associated Press. "We met with the Caterpillar people and they made it pretty clear that the logistics would drive the decision."But a letter from Caterpillar...
