Quinn Says Illinois Still Jobs Leader Despite Business Leaving

An Illinois based company is picking up and leaving the state.  Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels says he offered Modern Drop Forge a five-and-a-half-million-dollar incentive to build a new facility in Merrillville.  Despite the move, Governor Quinn says Illinois is still the jobs leader in the Midwest.

Despite the move, Governor Quinn says current reforms to the business climate, like overhauling the workers compensation system, will keep business in Illinois.

Quinn says he never wants companies to leave Illinois but if that's what they feel is best for their business, then Quinn says quote, "it's a free country."
