Republicans and Democrats running for the office of Illinois Governor in 2011 have clearly divided opinions about how to handle the state's budget deficit, specifically regarding the issue of whether to raise state income taxes.
Both Democrats - Gov. Pat Quinn and Comptroller Dan Hynes - have proposed raising state taxes along with a mix of cuts to help solve chronic budget deficits.
The seven Republicans slated for the February primary all say they will not favor raising taxes, although not all are forthcoming about how they would otherwise deal with the state's budget crisis. Republican candidates are: Hinsdale businessman Adam Andrzejewski, Bloomington state Sen. Bill Brady, Hinsdale state Sen. Kirk Dillard, Chicago businessman Andy McKenna, Chicago political consultant Dan Proft, former Attorney General Jim Ryan of Elmhurst and DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom from Naperville.
