...apparently a majority of the people who actually vote like what they are getting.
I guess too many conservatives find something else to do on election day...sigh
I proudly voted for Brady, but Quinn did promise to veto any tax hike greater than 1% of income. This is a 2% rise (we were at 3% before, now 5%).
We also just passed a law allowing for the recall of the governor. I am hearing rumblings from various groups to head this up based on the broken promise.
I hope it gets some legs. I’m the father of a three year old and a one year old, plus work 50 to 60 hours a week. I am willing to support any group with money and some time, but I am not willing to lead it. Not now.
The majority of Illinois voters voted against Gov. Quinn. He defeated Brady, 47%-46%. Quinn won by about 20,000 votes, and the Libertarian, Lex Green, got about 34,000 votes. The other candidates were Michael White, of the Constitution Party; Rich Whitney, of the Green Party; and Scott Lee Cohen, an independent.
