Pat Quinn. Now and always a political snake oil salesman.


Jim Broadway publishes the valuable Illinois School Policy Updates. You might want to subscribe.
In his most recent edition, Broadway addresses Constitutional Amendment 49. It will be on the ballot in November.
He also reminds his readers of the political history of Pat Quinn.
Broadway also gets into some stuff about FDR’s views on public worker unions. But that’s mostly crap. After all, FDR also supported the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II. Let’s not use him as if his words were final on all things right and wrong.
Being reminded of Quinn’s political history is interesting in light of conversations I’ve had with some progressives
