FILE: Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn speaks at a news conference in
Chicago.APThe top state lawmakers in Illinois are suing Gov. Pat Quinn after
he halted the salaries of legislators because of their failure to find
a solution to the state's $100 billion pension crisis.House Speaker Michael
Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Democrats, filed the 12-page
complaint with the Circuit Court of Cook County Tuesday, calling Quinn's
actions "purely political and unconstitutional.""This matter is of fundamental
constitutional importance, as Governor Quinn's action threatens the independence
of each branch of government," Cullerton and Madigan said in a joint
news release. "The Illinois Constitution protects the salaries of members
of the judiciary, the legislature, and the executive branch."Quinn cut $13.8
million for lawmakers' paychecks in the state budget through his veto power
earlier this month after threatening consequences if they failed to act
promptly on addressing the pension problem. When members of a bipartisan
pension panel blew past another deadline the Chicago Democrat had set, he
cut their salaries.Quinn responded Tuesday saying the lawsuit is "just plain
wrong. He added if lawmakers had put in that much effort into
overhauling Illinois' pension mess, there could've been reform by now."Legislators
should not be rewarded for an endless cycle of promises, excuses, delay
and inertia on the pension problem," the statement cont
arce's current five-year term expires,
which would leave the agency with just two members -- short of
the three legally needed for it to conduct business."I applaud the Senate
for putting in place a full board and look forward to working
together on other steps we can take to grow our economy," Obama
said in a written statement that put an optimistic face on upcoming
battles with Congress over taxes and spending.Besides renewing Pearce for
another five-year term, senators also confirmed Democrats Kent Hirozawa
and Nancy Schiffer, who both have long experience as labor lawyers, to
the NLRB. The two Republicans approved are a pair of attorneys who
have worked with employers on labor issues, Philip A. Miscimarra and Harry
I. Johnson III.On Wednesday, senators planned to begin considering Obama's
nomination of B. Todd Jones to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives. It will also take up his selection of Samantha
Power to become U.N. ambassador.In a turnabout, Democrats were expressing
optimism that they would win the 60 votes needed to end Republican
roadblocks against a vote on Jones, whom Obama nominated in January to
head ATF. The agency, which has not had a confirmed director since
2006, helps enforce federal gun laws.Top National Rifle Association lobbyist
Jim Baker said in an interview this week that the gun lobby
would remain neutral on Jones, saying, "We find nothing in his background
to concern law-abiding g

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> President Obama waves as he arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday,
July 31, 2013, to meet with the House Democratic Caucus.APPresident Obama
sought Wednesday to reassure Democrats nervous about the impact of his health
care law and the prospects for immigration legislation, telling them "You're
on the right side of history."In the first of two closed-door meetings
on Capitol Hill, Obama focused on financial gains as the economy emerges
from the worst downturn since the Depression. He was warned about nominating
former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers as chairman of the Federal Reserve
and faced questions about his health care law. Some lawmakers complained
that three years after its passage, the law still baffles many Americans.Rep.
Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo., told the president that tapping Summers to replace
current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would be a mistake.Obama defended
Summers, saying he had been treated unfairly by the news media. The
president insisted that he had not made a decision on his choice.
Summers, a former Obama economic adviser, and Janet Yellen, the Fed's current
vice chair, are among the leading candidates for the job.The first major
rewrite of immigration laws in a generation and legislation to keep the
government running without interruption are paramount issues for Democrats.
So is the president's contentious health care law, with uninsured people
able to start shopping for a health plan on Oct
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Bevin fired back.
"There are no taxes that are unpaid, nor were there any taxes
that I was responsible for that didn't get paid. This is a
smokescreen. This is a charade, and it's typical of Mitch McConnell --
after 30 years, there's nothing in his own record that he feels
proud enough of to run on." Bevin said. Last week, McConnell dismissed
Bevin's candidacy as a "nuisance."On Wednesday, Bevin vowed to redefine
the meaning of the word for McConnell."There is no one in America
more qualified to talk about bailouts than Mitch McConnell. He is the
master of the bailout, and he knows full well that the bailouts
that he's perpetrated on the people of this nation, and the people
of Kentucky, are nothing compared to a small grant at the state
of Connecticut. A grant is not a bailout," Bevin said. The Kentucky
primary is in May of next year, 10 months from now. It
will be a bellwether of the GOP's attitude and unity heading into
the 2014 midterm general elections. So far, Bevin remains largely unknown
in contrast to McConnell, who is a household name in Kentucky.A poll
last week by Wenzel Strategies showed McConnell crushing Bevin by nearly
40 points -- 59 percent to 20 percent.The same poll also showed
McConnell with an 8-point lead over Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, the
Kentucky secretary of state who officially announced her Senate candidacy
last week.
