Okay so I have 6 slots at Idnr, 5 at cms, 3 at epa, and 4 at dcfs. Wait how many county chairman are there???

question in all those pictures taken in one day I am left with a few thoughts…
Guv Quinn really likes to eat!
I thought he was still in his stunt of eating ketchup packets and salad bar crackers?
also if you add up the food alone he spent about $36 bucks… what happened to the $11 a day?
