SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Republican candidate for governor Bill Brady says Gov. Pat Quinn has “failed over the last five years” but painted a rosy picture during his annual address to the Illinois Legislature.
The state Senator from Bloomington spoke following the Chicago Democrat’s Wednesday speech in Springfield.
Brady noted that Quinn didn’t mention the upcoming expiration of the state’s income tax hike in Jan. 2015, which Quinn has billed as temporary.
Brady says Quinn’s “failure to recommit his promise to provide that tax cut” puts questions in businesses and families’ minds about whether to stay in Illinois.
Brady is facing Republican state Sen. Kirk Dillard, state treasurer Dan Rutherford and Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner in the March 18 primary.
