Daley Not Sold on Quinn's Tax Plan

Poor Governor Quinn. He just wants to be liked and Mayor Daley keeps toying with his emotions. First, Daley got pissy over Gov. Quinn's budget. Then, MayDay said some very nice things about the Governor. But now Daley is back to questioning The Mighty Quinn's tax plan. According to David Stewart at WGN Radio, Daley said, "Just to say, ok my answer is to increase taxes, and I'm not going to look at, review my departments, which I think its very challenging and I think that they have to rethink that." We patiently await Daley's next statement on the issue, probably sometime next week, when he is expected to say, "Nah, I was just fuckin' with ya', Patty. Just bustin' the new guy's balls. Of course you can tax the shit outta everyone! It's Cook County!"
