* OK, campers, let’s rate the new TV ads from the two Democratic gubernatorial candidates. First up, Gov. Pat Quinn…
Script…
More attacks from Dan Hynes, grossly distorting Governor Quinn’s record.
The truth?
Quinn supports moving some non-violent offenders to halfway houses so we can use our prison space to keep violent criminals behind bars.
And Hynes? Just this week he admitted an aide had stolen $100,000 in taxpayer funds. Another aide is under investigation for using state computers to commit securities fraud.
Instead of attacking, shouldn’t Hynes be explaining?
1,700 prisoners let out of prison early by Pat Quinn.
Domestic abusers. Sex offenders. Murderers.
Now, 56 have committed new crimes, including attempted murder.
Newspapers say the whole episode rattles the public’s faith in the governor, and call Quinn’s actions “inexcusable,” an “epic failure,” a “breach of trust that jeopardizes our safety.”
On February 2nd, let’s vote to release Pat Quinn from his job.
