Lame duck anti-death penalty bill...exit door commutations...such is politics in Illinois.
A press conference is currently under way where Quinn will discuss his capital punishment decision.

1) Why did you campaign last year as a death penalty supporter?Technorati tags: capital punishment death penalty Illinois Politics Illinois Democrats Springfield news Patrick Quinn pat quinn
2) Is is true, as House Minority Leader Tom Cross alleges, that you traded votes for you 67 percent income tax increase in exchange for a promise to abolish capital punishment in Illinois?
