View Photo »Access to affordable and reliable public transportation is imperative for Chicago-area transit riders ... Today’s comprehensive agreement will stabilize public transit and will hold the line against any CTA fare increases for the next two years.
Pat Quinn is the right person to lead Illinois out of this recession. Pat Quinn is a governor who consistently listens to the issues affecting working families
I know there are rules in Illinois with respect to running for office and gathering signatures on petitions and all of those must be complied with in order to be eligible to run for any office. You know, I have to do the same thing as everyone else, file petitions and file everything in order. I think t...
Long before becoming governor, Pat Quinn sought a reputation as an outsider in part by railing against the very entity whose support he eagerly accepts today. It would seem that his prior support for open primaries was nothing more than political rhetoric
It was probably our best three periods in a long time, and we maybe (could have) had a better result but we didn't ... And in the shootout we couldn't score. I don't like the goals that went in on us again ... But overall, thinking in terms of improvement, we were a little better in Colorado than we hav...
Just going back from memory, the challenges that we had against them when I was in Toronto were terrific, they had a great rivalry going
I salute the Thoroughbred Horseman’s Association for supporting this important cause for more than three years ... When our brave men and women answer the call to duty, they should not have to worry that their families are suffering financially at home. All of us in Illinois can help our military famili...
The Illinois Constitution has a three-fifths requirement for the Legislature to override a veto of the Governor. It is standard in our constitution and in other constitutions ... I believe it is also a good model for Cook County.
We have a very close relationship with Gov. Jay Nixon on this whole issue of high-speed rail from Chicago to St. Louis, and we're interested in continuing on to Kansas City
We want to make sure Marion has top-notch health care for veterans, and if it’s not there, we will appeal to the people of Illinois to help provide that expert service ... If you have been on the front line defending our democracy, when you come home, you shouldn’t have to fight for decent health care.
Winters in Illinois can be more than just cold -- they can be downright dangerous
We had a bunch of goals to start, but unfortunately we didn't continue to play the same way we got those goals ... Detroit's a pretty good team. You can't let them off the hook. We had some fear take over. They started checking and we didn't answer it. We got through it tonight, but it wasn't pretty.
We need a commitment, not only from CTA, but Metra and Pace that they are going to have a moratorium on any fare increases for the next year or two ... I think it's important to make that clear. I think the people of northeastern Illinois need to be able to get to work and get to school and get to where...
In the first two games against Calgary I thought we played well
That was a pretty good line tonight ... All three of them were excellent. They played against that Rick Nash unit most of the night and seemed to relish in the challenge. I think it helped them stay sharp. I'm really proud of the way we stuck together as a team and came back. It was a pretty good result...
The most powerful force on earth is when committed, thoughtful people band together. This is why, today, I am announcing my candidacy for governor of Illinois in 2010
I was named -- and a great honor indeed -- 'Mr. Soybean of Illinois,'
In our state and our country the most powerful force on earth is when thoughtful committed people band together for a cause they believe in. And this is why, today, I’m announcing my candidacy for governor of Illinois
We’ll see what happens when the legislature convenes and when we have a campaign. I’m going to be campaigning across Illinois
I want everyone in the world to know that Illinois is a great place to visit, to invest, and to live
We need to invest in the minds of our young people at every stage of life, from early childhood education through college ... Investing in the mind of a child pays dividends for decades to come. With a well-educated, well-prepared workforce, Illinois can compete and win in the global economy.
Today, I am bringing my candidacy to the people of Illinois ... As Governor, I have traveled to every corner of the Land of Lincoln, and I will keep on criss-crossing Illinois as I work to bring jobs, growth and economic recovery to every community in our state.

The energy I witnessed on your campuses, from Chicago to Carbondale, Peoria to DeKalb, successfully inspired the General Assembly to respond
This is really an inspiring display of grassroots democracy ... I am really proud of the students of Illinois and their universities and colleges and how they came together, worked together not for profit, for a cause they believe in, and it really shows the energy of what we can do in Illinois when we ...
