CHAMPAIGN—An 11% pay raise sounds unheard of to most Illinoisans in this economy, but not if you work for Governor Quinn.
Reports that the Governor gave out 43 salary increases over the past 15 months have come to light recently. This just a few days after the Governor announced $1.4 billion in cuts to some of Illinois most vital human services.
CHAMPAIGN – Highlighting his record of bipartisanship and putting the needs of our community first, 28 Mayors and local leaders have endorsed Senator Frerichs in his reelection.
“When I need help from the state for our community, I know I can call Mike Frerichs,” said Scott Eisenhauer, Republican and Mayor of Danville. “He always puts aside the partisan bickering and gets the job done and that is why I am proud to support Senator Frerichs in his reelection,” added Mayor Eisenhauer.
