CHICAGO (CBS) — Gov. Pat Quinn said he and Chicago Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel will be both “progressive” and “aggressive” when it comes to pursuing their agenda for Illinois and the city.

LISTEN: Newsradio 780 Political Editor Craig Dellimore Reports


The two met for about an hour Friday at Quinn’s office at the Thompson Center. They did not take questions and offered no specifics, but vowed to cooperate on their core issues: education, the economy and job creation.

“We had a real nice chat … we have lots of things were are going to do in the … years to come,” Quinn said.

Emanuel acknowledged there would only be a few weeks left in the legislative session when he takes over from Mayor Richard Daley in May.

“We don’t have a day to waste as it relates to the people we represent,” Emanuel said.

    LOL…Quinn says he is progressive and aggressive???? He’s the limpest elected official since Todd Stroger. I bet Rahm was embarassed to be included in the same sentence with Quinn.

    Stop the spending, boys.

    Yes they are going to be agressive. Hey Rahm who’s deal is it? Pat it’s your deal, not from the bottom of the deck. I open with a few state plum jobs for your friends Rahm. Ok I’ll see those jobs and raise you several thousand Chicago votes to be stolen later. Oh my you are so agressive, but I’ll raise you a state tax hike. Throw in some extra unemployment compensation for my lazy constituancy and I’ll call. Ok Rahm, what do you have. I have a trey high. Oh you win Rahm, no dead fish for me.

    I AM FROM CHICAGO AND I PITY ALL THE CHICAGOIANS AND STATE POPULATION WHO VOTED ONCE AGAIN FOR THE SAME ALL POLITICIANS.
    I VISUALIZE, THAT BETWEEN THE POLITICIANS NOW AND THE UNION HOLD, THAT IT WILL NOT TAKE LONG FOR THE CITY TO BECOME LIKE DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

    i wonder if both these gentlemen checked with MICHAEL MADIGAN before they made these statements. HE is the one who runs the show in ILLINOIS. CULLERTON has to do the same thing so QUINN AND RAHM DON’T FEEL TOO BAD.OH i just heard a company is leaving ILLINOIS for WISCONSIN. it won’t be the last. QUINN has to check with his boss before he approves anything.
