(PRNewsChannel) / March 13, 2009 / Chicago, Ill. / Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich released the following statement on the proposal from Gov. Pat Quinn to raise the state income tax:
"This is exactly what I said was going to happen. It is unconscionable that the new governor, Pat Quinn, wants to raise the income tax by 50% especially at a time when people are hurting and the economy is in shambles.
"When Pat Quinn and I ran as a ticket we promised the people not to raise their income taxes. For six years I kept that promise. It took him less than six weeks to break it."
Former Gov. Blagojevich is not available for interviews and will not be making any other public statements today.
