A post from the Illinois Republican Party brings up a point. Governor Quinn signed the state budget. Quinn has been acting like he didn't sign it. Unfunded MAP college scholarships is the issue. They were funded only for one semester, not two. Quinn worked like crazy at a rally at Northern Illinois University to blame the state legislature, not himself.
This leaves thousands of students in a lurch. Quinn could have used his emergency budget power to stop this problem. He could have moved money around this past summer to help fund the scholarships. Quinn goofed up and he's playing the blame game. Do we really have room for a governor like that?
