You’re the boss, Kevin, don’t let those two, shall we say, seasoned monologuists, push you around. A great public service, have fun with it.

Kevin, did you say expert on state politics and governance? Pat Quinn?

In the spirit of the Ozinga campaign I must object to your inclusion as the moderator. You worked for someone who is clearly on the side of the evil pension grabbers who want to raid teacher’s retirements and make pensioners have to go get minimum wage jobs at McDonalds’ to make ends meet.
Your ties to a Mr. Rich Miller show you cannot be objective on this topic.

Political activity on State grounds? Hopefully the Governor’s ethics goon squad don’t beat you too badly in breaking up the illegal gathering.

For the folks in Southern Illinois, a forum much like the one on the U. of I. campus will be held at SIUC in Carbondale in the Student center ballrooms.

The forum will feature Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, and leader of the Alliance to Protect the Illinois Constitution Jeff Mays.

Program starts at 10am
