Governor Quinn:
You say you've cut to the bone. You claim there's no more fat to cut from the budget.
But then we learn this week that the CTA, Metra and Pace spent nearly $1 million of $6.4 million local taxpayers dollars to influence state legislators to shell out even more taxpayer funds.
Using our tax money to lobby politicians in Springfield?
That's not waste we can cut?
I urge you to redouble your efforts to trim the significant waste, fraud and abuse in the state budget before continuing your push for a massive income tax increase.
That tax increase won't just hit the rich ââ¬â it will hit families and job creators.
It will hurt our already struggling economy, and make a bad situation worse.
Please cut the budget -- not our incomes.
Go back to the drawing board, draft up a more common sense budget, and drop your campaign to raise our taxes.
