Quinn Signs $31 Billion Bill

As expected, Gov. Quinn signed a $31 billion construction plan today. Hopes are that the plan will fund a rebuilding of the state's infrastructure - prompting repairs and creations of things like bike trails and state highways - while also creating thousands of new jobs. Meanwhile, Quinn has also backed off his push for an income tax hike as state lawmakers return to Springfield tomorrow to see if they can finally hash out a new state budget. [AP via CBS 2]
