[Peace] action: Governor Quinn wants input about the bill abolishing the death penalty

[Karen Medina]

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said he’ll decide within a month whether
to sign a bill abolishing the death penalty.

The governor encourages people with opinions to contact his office.

The Illinois House and Senate General Assembly approved the bill
SB3539 ending the state’s death penalty. The bill moved on to Quinn's
desk January 11th, 2011, but Quinn hasn't decided whether to sign the
bill into law.

Quinn said, "the proper way to handle something as important as this –
to listen and then I will make a decision within the month."
