Quinn Pushing Jobs Ahead Of Election

Governor Quinn is talking jobs in the final week before the election. In the last few days, he's announced more than 35-hundred jobs are coming to several cities across Illinois. The latest is a one-point-four-billion-dollar fertilizer plant that'll be based in Tuscola.

Governor Quinn says more than two thousand people will be put to work when the plant opens its doors in three years. Add a-thousand-jobs with a new Amazon facility and 500 with a new transportation company and Quinn is making headway on the jobs front this week. But critics say he's simply trying to boost support ahead of the election, especially considering the jobs issue has been a major focal point of the campaign. Republican Bruce Rauner has slammed Quinn over the loss of manufacturing jobs and the state's high unemployment rate.
