Quinn said Friday he'll require his staff, state managers and
policymakers to take 24 unpaid days off this year, up from 12 days
last year. Quinn also plans to take the 24 unpaid days. He says the
days off will translate into a 9.2 percent salary cut and will save
the state about $18 million in fiscal 2011. The Democratic
governor came under fire after an Associated Press analysis revealed
earlier this month that he's given 43 salary increases averaging
11.4 percent to 35 staffers in his office the past 15 months. They
came as the debt-ridden state struggles with a fiscal crisis.
