Beyond the tax talk

Most of the buzz last week around Gov. Quinn’s address to the General Assembly related, logically, to the proposed tax hike.

But I listened to the address and heard some green talk, in case you missed it. OK, it was only two paragraphs, so no wonder I couldn’t find any stories about it:

WE WON’T JUST POUR CONCRETE AND ASPHALT. WE’LL MAKE SURE MAJOR PROJECTS ARE ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE.

WE NEED A GREEN WAY OF THINKING…AND A GREEN WAY OF ACTING. THAT MEANS LOTS OF “GREEN” COLLAR JOBS…ACROSS THE LAND OF LINCOLN.

Is President Obama having a green ripple effect?
