Pat Quinn, still tilting at windmills

“Passing partial budgets is not what adults do.” Gov.Pat Quinn, June 30, 2009.
Wrong, governor. You are acting like the old Pat “Gadfly” Quinn who stands outside the Capitol and shakes his fist at the evildoers inside.
You are the governor, now. But you’re saying that if you don’t get your own way, ie., your tax increase with no additional cuts, you’ll veto the budget the General Assembly sent you.
What we need is a budget that recognizes reality, and makes across the board cuts instead of punishing private, nonprofit agencies who serve “the least of these,” a phrase you will know since you like to quote Scripture.
