News headline too opinionated

I spent much of the first day after Illinois legislators voted to raise taxes from 3 percent to 5 percent explaining to worried people that, no, they shouldn’t worry that they’d be taxed 67 percent more and, yes, the bill included a reduction in the tax rate after four years. No wonder they were confused! The headline that day, Jan. 13 —”Quinn breaks his promise”— belonged on an editorial, not over the front page. I subscribe to the Daily Herald in spite of its right-leaning Opinion page and expect the paper to have the journalistic integrity to keep that lean where it belongs. Very disappointing.
