Quinn 'skeptical' of Wrigley bond proposal

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said he is “skeptical” of the proposal from the Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs for the state to sell $300 million of tax-exempt bonds to finance renovations of Wrigley Field.

The authorization of the bond sale is scheduled to be considered by the Illinois state Senate tomorrow.

“I'm skeptical of the whole proposal,” Quinn told reporters today at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago. “They haven't shown it to me. Apparently they don't think I'm as important as some others, and I am important in this matter because I'm a goalie for the people of Illinois to make sure they get their priorities addressed.”
