State Republicans Ready to Reinstate Death Penalty
Is Pat Quinn trying to pull a “George Ryan”? The Democrat is considering abolishing Illinois death penalty. Republicans are prepared to stop him.
Governor Quinn is nearing a decision on the controversial bill that would abolish the death penalty in Illinois. Quinn said Wednesday that he is making the decision deliberately and carefully. When asked who has lobbied him on the bill, he said simply, “Everyone.”
The Death Penalty and License Plates
Governor Quinn wants public input on whether to abolish death penalty: What would you tell him? Illinois could join 19 other states that only require one license plate, instead of two, under legislation recently introduced in the state House.
Quinn says he’d like to hear from the citizens of Illinois before he decides whether to sign legislation that would abolish the death penalty in the state.
