Gov. Quinn signs budget
We have an audio report from Kim Bateman of the Illinois Information Service.
Compiled by staff
Published: Jun 30, 2012
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said on Saturday he signed a $33.7 billion budget for fiscal 2013 after vetoing spending for prisons that he plans to close.
Quinn said public pensions, which lawmakers have so far failed to reform, will eat up $5.2 billion of the fiscal 2013 budget, compared to $1.8 billion in fiscal 2008.
"We simply can't afford this. The squeeze is on," Quinn said, vowing to have "meeting after meeting" with lawmakers to get a deal on pension reform in the future.
