  • Governor Pat Quinn Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Address February 22, 2012 - Remarks As Prepared
    OFFICE OF GOVERNOR PAT QUINN FISCAL YEAR 2013 BUDGET Governor Pat Quinn Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Address February 22, 2012 - Remarks as prepared President Cullerton, Speaker Madigan, Leaders Radogno and Cross, Lieutenant Governor Simon, Attorney General Madigan, Secretary White, Comptroller Topinka, Treasurer Rutherford, Members of the General Assembly, distinguished guests and fellow citizens of Illinois, I’m here today to submit to you our budget for fiscal year 2013. I’m here today to tell you the truth. This budget contains truths that may not be what you want to hear. But these are truths that you do need to know. And I believe you can handle the truth. On November 2, 2010, the people of Illinois elected me to be honest and straight with them – and with you. The truth is that over the past 35 years, too many governors and members of the General Assembly have clung to budget fantasies rather than confronting hard realities, especially with respect to pension and Medicaid investments. Today, our rendezvous with reality has arrived. We must navigate our budget out of past decades of poor fiscal management, deferring bills to the future and empty promises. We must achieve fundamental and lasting budget reform. And we must do it now. In this budget, I am proposing serious spending reductions and efficiencies across state agencies and constitutional offices. But for these reductions to work, we must also stabilize and strengthen our public pension systems once and for all. We must fundamentally restructure our Medicaid program. And we must rebalance and move our most vulnerable citizens from institutions to community care.
