This is my plan for financial solvency here in our state, the great state of Illinois. A road map. A red map. A red road map. There is some blue, but mostly it is red. Like the financial condition of our state, the great state of Illinois.
Quinn: “Oh great! A personal rug! Now someone find me some state employees and a few developmental center residents so I can pull it out from under them.”

“We were thankful Pat Quinn won the last election … Our annual Governor’s Gift would have had no room if ‘Adam Andrzekewski’ won”
“Little does the governor know, but this was a “re-gift” of a present made FOR a former girlfriend.”

They told Gov. Quinn, the ‘upside down “e” ‘… makes the ‘hard a’ sound.
If you turn it upside down, it says …”Let the Press Tour the Prisons” … its subtle, but you can read it.
Lt. Governor Shelia Simon got the matching oven mitt.
The governor was more excited that they remembered there are 2 “n”s, that upset about the “upside down e” …
“Governor, the ‘upside down e’ is a symbol of strength and charm.”
