…from the Quinn campaign yesterday (I pasted it in here from the email and some of the formatting doesn’t transfer well.  I’ll try to work on that before next time.  I’m also working to figure out how you might sign up to receive these “Blue Note” mailings directly.  More to come…):

Here’s what’s happening:

$$$$ in the Cayman Islands

By stashing cash in the Cayman Islands, Rauner avoided paying U.S and Illinois taxes on parts of his fortune. Sound familiar? That’s because Mitt Romney did the same thing. Because of these types of offshore tax-shelters, Illinois is losing millions of dollars in tax revenue every year. 

Who’s talking about this?

Everyone. This story has caught people’s attention. Help fan the flames—share this article from the Daily Kos or this one from the Sun Times.
