Quinn, working hard to stay relevant.

Quinn wasn’t great, but hey, he was better at being a governor than the campaigner we have in the governor’s office now!

The mayor’s office has term limits - - it is called “elections”.

I don’t care who it is, Quinn, Lisa Madigan, Bill Daley, Kennedy, Kwame Raoul, Rod Blagojevich, Jim Edgar, Jimmy Swaggert, or Keith Moreland. I will take anybody, and I mean anybody, as long as it is not Bruce Rauner.

I’m saving the state money on an oil painting of me. I just stand live next to the paintings of the others who don’t/can’t get here too often.

Hey, at least I would have passed an unconstitutional budget just like my predecessors even if it meant things would be far worse down the line. That is what the people of Illinois have come to expect and love, just follow this blog if you don’t believe me.

Mayoral term limits–good.
Gubernatorial term limits–bad.

Comment by Qui Tam Wednesday, Jun 22, 16 @ 1:56 pm
Former Governor Quinn, this type of petition drive does NOTHING to help the current mess the state is in. The State of Illinois has term limits….it’s called elections! Instead of only trying to promote YOURSELF, offer a viable plan to end the stalemate. We know how you WORK DAY AND NIGHT for solutions, and since you are planning on running again, there is no better time to offer up a plan.
Comment by Anon Wednesday, Jun 22, 16 @ 1:57 pm
Yes, the last time I was on the ballot it was essentially giving away the election, but this time it will be completely different!

Term limits for every state and federal position. Just vote these guys out - now.
We do not even a law - but it would help.
