Brady on Quinn Deal With AFSCME

Statement

Gubernatorial Candidate Bill Brady today released the following statement in response to the Quinn Administration's deal with AFSCME, on the heels of its endorsement;

"Unemployment is at double-digit levels and the state cannot pay its bills. The Quinn Administration should not agree to anything that limits Illinois' flexibility to manage this catastrophe. Instead, Governor Pat Quinn should embrace every cost-cutting measure possible, work with union leaders to freeze salaries, and avoid eleventh hour election-year agreements that lock in more pay hikes and job security guarantees in an arrangement that reminds voters of the pay-to-play politics that I seek to end."
