Quinn to visit Editorial Board

3 comments April 21st, 2009

Gov. Pat Quinn will be in Rockford at 4:30 p.m. Thursday to talk to the Rockford Register Star Editorial Board.

We plan to Web stream the meeting live on rrstar.com.

The state budget probably will be the hot topic. Quinn has proposed a tax increase, which many members of the Editorial Board oppose. The Editorial Board would like to see the state spend less money and reform the pension system that threatens to bankrupt the state unless it is dealt with.

Here’s a link to the gov’s budget proposal. Tell me what you think.
