Pat Quinn A Good Man

I like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. He tries to do the right thing. He is not the typical calculating, biased politician. He is openly for gay rights, increasing minimum wages and  banning  assault weapons. Yes. Its the beginning of the Governors race. Quinn's approval ratings are low but that means nothing.

He has a giant deficit to deal with. It will apparently will be almost impossible to overcome. He said "Illinois must honor the productivity of it's workers." At least his heart is in the right place even with no money to pay for anything. Mike Madigan is the one who can make things happen in Illinois. Certainly he has to have some humanity attached to that hard core exterior. Come on Mike. Help the governor. Help us all. Do the right thing. Maybe it will also help Lisa Madigan.
