Budget??


If you have been following the news from Springfield regarding the development of a budget for the coming fiscal year, you know that there has been little action. What there has been are numerous missteps and gaffs by Governor Quinn. It seems that the Pat Quinn we have known for years is back displaying his natural nature to micro-manage and perform erratically. There has been a great deal of miscommunication from the Governor to the General Assembly and he has reversed himself on a couple of occasions. When we expected close cooperation in this area, we are now seeing more of the same old thing, my way or the highway! I wouldn't be too hopeful that there will be a happy ending to the budget story this year. Illinois government is a mess!
