Quinn Praises Vote To End Scholarships

Governor Pat Quinn is praising state representatives for voting to end the legislative scholarship program.  It allows lawmakers to give students a tuition waiver each year to attend a state university.  The program has been tainted with allegations of corruption over the years.  Quinn says scholarships paid for by Illinois taxpayers should be awarded only to those with merit and have true financial need.  He's asking the Senate to follow in the House's footsteps but Senate GOP lawmakers fear the proposal may not get called for a vote.
