#1 Based on history... if it is a plan Pat Quinn came up with himself... It Won't Work!
If anybody else did the plan there is random chance in its favor. Pat should never play with dice or I-Ching.

#2 Quinn is about as useless a governor as Champ is a President.

Close a few prisons, shut down some of the different parts of the universities that we don't need (e.g., the new law school at NIU), reform the PEU pensions to 401Ks, reform the PEU health care mess, end all the good-old-boy no bid consulting contracts, and cap Medicaid reimbursements to nursing homes. Then see how close you are to a balanced budget and go from there.

#3 In Quinn's favor, at least he's not in jail - yet.

#4 Well, The Illinois Governor's Wing at Terre Haute is full up right now. I'm sure they'll be a vacancy one of these days. And some one to fill it...

#5 I recommend a toll rate increase on I-95. Something in the neighborhood of $3. to $4. per stop, per tire x the number of passengers.

Oh just forget it, Illinois will NEVER get out of the hole ~~they've~~ Chicago has dug.

#6 You do realize that I-95 runs down the East Coast from Maine to Flordia, don't you, B?

It doesn't go within 600 miles of Illinois. And we certainly don't want to pay for their ~~profligacy~~ greed.

Perhaps you meant I-90?

#7 I-95'd work too, statistically, anyway; 95% of the trtaffic on it is deep, dark blue. And reds can go around on local highways without too much problem.

#8 Duhhhh, yes, I-90. Chicago to Rockford, Beloit, etc.
