Mayor Daley: Gov. Quinn backed off promise on tax share

This is one of the few good ideas Quinn has had. He should cut the amount sent to Chicago even more then that. And NO PORTION of any State tax increase should go to cities. It should all go to paying overdue state payments to schools, colleges, nursing homes, and pension systems.
