IL: Green Candidate for Governor, Rich Whitney, Calls for Green Capitol Bill as He Bikes Across State

From WIFR:

And while most of the legislature will get there by car or plane, gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney is rolling across the state via bike. Whitney is the Green Party candidate. He stopped at the Stockholm Inn this morning to call for a Green Capitol Bill. The Carbondale native says by modernizing the state's infrastructure, hundreds of jobs would be created. He says he's fiscally conservative, just like the Republicans that represent a good portion of the area. But unlike some of them, he supports a proposed state income tax hike. He says he'd like a forensic audit on each line item to better identify wasteful spending.
