Greg Hinz on Jim Ryan

Crain's Chicago Business' Greg Hinz covers Republican Jim Ryan's run for governor.

Here's a bit of what he wrote:

The former Illinois attorney general and 2002 GOP gubernatorial nominee surely stresses his fiscal conservatism — raising taxes now would be "criminal," he recently put it. But he offers something else: his own life story, a story filled with pain and mistakes, one that he says has made him a better leader.

"I think I can understand people's problems better, because it's happened to me," he says. "I don't care about my career anymore. I'm not out for a big new job. I'm going to bring a passion to clean up Illinois government."
