IL: Whitney (G) Issues Statement on Cohen's Independent Candidacy in Gubernatorial Race

From the Decatur Tribune:

Carbondale, IL- Green Party candidate for Governor, Rich Whitney, issued the following statement regarding Scott Lee Cohen’s announcement that he will run as an independent for Governor:  Even assuming that he gets on the ballot, I am not overly concerned by Mr. Cohen’s presence in the race. He seems to be positioning himself as some sort of centrist. But being in the "center" between two candidates who each support devastating cuts to education and essential social services, who won't fix our broken tax system, and who have no original ideas for creating real job opportunities for Illinoisans, is nothing to brag about.
