Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is going to have to do more than talk if he wants to close a prison or other state facilities.

The governor is talking about closing a state facility to save money. He's not said what may be closed, but on Tuesday he said he needs to do something because lawmakers, he says, did not do enough.

But he can't wait too long. The State Facilities Closure Act requires the governor to file formal plans on how he intends to close whatever he wants to close. A special legislative commission then has to have hearings and a 30-day public comment period.

The governor is not saying what he will close, or when he will announce his plan.
