Jimmy John's May Move Out of Illinois
(IRN)-The founder of Jimmy John's sandwich shops says he's considering moving his company's headquarters from Champaign to Florida because of Illinois' new tax increase.

Jimmy John Liautaud says that he's gathering information on a potential move and will ask the company's board to decide.
Liautaud says he could absorb the increased costs but doesn't believe he should have to.

Governor Pat Quinn signed the income tax increase last week to help address billions of dollars in state budget shortfalls.

Meanwhile, Quinn was noncommittal on reappointing those appointees who have never received Senate confirmation...including the acting director of the Illinois State Police Jonathan Monken.
