SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Gov. Quinn moved Thursday to whack $1.4 billion from the state budget, but the Democratic governor did not outline where more than half of those cuts would come.In signing a spending plan for the 2011 fiscal year, which began Thursday, Quinn said his primary objective was to preserve the state's core functions in the face of a suffocating $12.5 billion deficit.
"This is a day-by-day, case-by-case, agency-by-agency, program-by-program enterprise to make sure we still deliver the basic services to the people that they need: schools, health care, public safety," Quinn said.
