 That's according to the governor's 2009 income tax returns, which he
released Tuesday.Last year, the Chicago Democrat earned almost
$155,500 in salary. His earnings rose when he moved from the
lieutenant governor's job to the governor's office after legislators
forced Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office amid corruption allegations.
Quinn's 2008 returns claimed about $120,200 in wages.
His 2009 returns show Quinn paid more than $27,500 in federal and
$4,400 in state income taxes. His property tax bill was about
$3,200.
Quinn is criticizing state Sen. Bill Brady for not releasing his
returns. Quinn says that raises questions about whether there's a
conflict between Brady's business income and the Republican
candidate's public interests.
