Quinn Says Time to Get Down to Business
(IRN)-Governor Pat Quinn knows there is plenty more to do when lawmakers return to Springfield in February.

After a group of Democratic state senators called for workers' compensation reforms and property tax relief as soon as possible, Quinn says he knows the score.

"I've always been for property tax reform," Quinn said. "My first elected office was the board of property tax appeals, so I know first-hand how important that is."

Quinn says one way to get property tax relief is to properly fund schools. He says that has been in the works, and the income tax hike on persons and businesses that passed in the lame duck session will help.
