Illinois

I am beyond proud of my home state this week.
Govenor Quinn, despite my belief he would not, abolished the death penalty in Illinois.
Governor Quinn further emptied the condemned unit at Stateville. 
I still think that the long knives will come out and he will be investigated for any hint of corruption in retaliation for this historic move.
My hat is off to you governor.  You showed that we can do the right thing.
