The "Reform" Commission

Illinois GOP:

NOTE: Chairman McKenna has received and accepted an invitation to speak before the Reform Commission in the coming weeks.

Statement from ILGOP Chairman Andy McKenna on first meeting of Pat Quinn's Reform Commission:

“Any discussion about reform in Illinois must address the Blagojevich Democrats’ six years of silence on the widening investigations into the Blagojevich Administration and the unethical behavior that turned this state into a national embarrassment.

“While Illinois was facing its largest corruption probe in history, Blagojevich Democrat Pat Quinn rode into office on a wave of Rod Blagojevich’s dirty money and enabled and endorsed his running mate even as reports of corruption became crystal clear.

“The people of Illinois are hungry for change and understand that we cannot enact reforms without addressing the cause of our problems, which includes Blagojevich Democrats like Pat Quinn failing to call out leaders in his own party throughout years of widespread reports of corruption.”
