Mike Madigan shared some advice for Governor Quinn with the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday: "Be like me," he said, adding, "Learn day by day. Try and make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today." Madigan also suggested that he thinks Quinn would learn from his experiences. "I would think that he's going to learn from his experience," Madigan told the Tribune. "I would think he would."

Madigan also elucidated the Tribune on his thoughts about Quinn's mandate for a tax increase to deal with the state's budget deficit. "I just didn't consider the result of the election to be a mandate for a tax increase. I didn't see it that way," the Speaker said.
