Jeff blogs about how there are no differences between them:
There is not a lot of daylight between Quinn and Hynes whether it is tax policy, healthcare policy, spending priorities, education policy, job growth policy or whatever. The views of Quinn and Hynes are consistently liberal and similar to each other. Hynes’ emphasis on his long term preference for a progressive income tax is a difference with Gov. Quinn that is more apparent than real. . Quinn would like a progressive income tax, too. He just thinks his proposal for increased personal exemptions is more practical and quicker and more likely to be achievable than going the constitutional amendment route, which may not be politically feasible.
