| The Pulse of Progress
Dear Aaron, This week, Governor Quinn's leadership produced three important milestones, all ensuring a brighter future for Illinois. On Tuesday, as small-business leaders looked on, Governor Quinn signed into law the Small Business Job Creation Tax Credit, which established a one-year program that will create 20,000 new jobs throughout the State of Illinois. Wednesday, the governor signed the most significant pension reform bill in our nation's history. The measure, which Governor Quinn spearheaded, will save Illinois taxpayers more than $200 billion while protecting retirement for state workers. And yesterday, we kicked off the largest construction season in Illinois history, with the unveiling of the governor's multi-year highway improvement plan.
Show your support for Governor Quinn's fight to create jobs and restore fiscal responsibility in Illinois
Governor Quinn's efforts to enact historic pension reforms have been lauded from observers across the political spectrum, including the Wall Street Journal and conservative columnist, George Will. Respected Illinois Congressman and Judge Abner Mikva wrote: "Gov. Pat Quinn and the Illinois legislature accomplished a near miracle when they successfully negotiated the "third rail" of Illinois politics: a meaningful reform of state pension laws… More than a faint praise, they deserve a loud hurrah." Add your voice by volunteering for the Quinn campaign
These important steps are just part of Governor Quinn's comprehensive plan to restore the pulse of progress to the State of Illinois. But we need your help. Visit Quinn for Illinois to learn more about the issues, get involved, and contribute to the campaign. With your help, we can continue taking Illinois forward. Sincerely, Mica Matsoff
