Governor Pat Quinn met with women legislators in Chicago Thursday, trying to boost support for his proposed income tax hike.

The Governor hinted that he's planning to cut some legislator's favorite projects in an attempt to get their attention.

"There are some actions I've got to take in the next couple of days which will show where we're coming from in Illinois," said Gov. Quinn.

Quinn wouldn't get specific about what agencies or programs he's planning to target.

Let's cut the gov's salary. Just cut the fat that Blago hired and started on the payroll. Never will a budget be balanced by raising taxes. Cut, Cut, Cut...
