Governor Rauner rescinds Quinn Executive Orders

[January 16, 2015]  SPRINGFIELD – Governor Bruce Rauner signed Executive Order 15-11 today rescinding the Executive Orders Governor Pat Quinn signed during his final weeks in office.

“It is clear that too many of Pat Quinn’s actions during his final weeks in office were in an effort to settle political scores and not wholly aimed at serving the public’s interest,” said Lance Trover, spokesman for the governor. “The Rauner Administration will decide on a case-by-case basis if any Executive Orders should be re-implemented.”
