>> ILLINOIS GUBERNATORIAL

CONTENDERS PAT QUINN AND BRUCE

RAUNER JUST FINISHED MAKING

THEIR CASE TO AFRICAN AMERICAN

VOTERS.

THE TWO WENT HEAD TO HEAD WITH

THE CHICAGO URBAN LEAGUE ON THE

SOUTH SIDE AND TACKLED FAMILIAR

THEMES AND PARISH SCHUTZ HAS

MORE.

>> RAUNER WAS ON THE OFFENSIVE

IN THIS DEBATE TRYING TO MAKE

THE CASE IN FRONT OF THE

AFRICAN AMERICAN CROWD THAT

QUINN HAD FAILED THEM AND TAKEN

THEIR VOTE FOR GRANTED.BEYOND

THAT DEBATE FOCUSED ON SOME

THEMES LIKE THE INCOME TAX,

RAUNER HAMMERED HOME SEVERAL

TIMES QUINN HAS SAID HE WANTS

TO RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION

RACE THAT IN INCOME TAX RATE

TO THE PERMANENT LEVEL.

RAUNER ALSO INTIMATED HE WOULD

RAISE INCOME TAX FROM THE 3.75

PERCENT RATE ON JANUARY BECAUSE

IN THE SHORT TERM HE

ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS PROBABLY NOT

ENOUGH TO TAKE IN ENOUGH

REVENUE.

BOTH OF THEM WERE CALLED OUT

FOR PERHAPS NOT DOING SO WELL

BY AFRICAN AMERICANS.

RAUNER FOR NOT HAVING TOP NOVEL

AFRICAN AMERICAN EXECUTIVES IN

ANY OF HIS COMPANIES, QUINN OR

NOT GIVING CONTRACT TO AFRICAN

AMERICAN OWNED BUSINESSES.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONERS SET ONE

PERCENT OF STATE CONTRACTS WERE

GIVEN TO AFRICAN AMERICAN

BUSINESS.

THEY FOCUSED ON THE MINIMUM

WAGE AND WHETHER TO RAISE IT.

GOVERNOR QUINN CALLED OUT HIS

OPPONENT'S MULTIPLE POSITION

WHILE ROUTER VOWED TO CHANGE

THE MINIMUM WAGE.

>> TAX REDUCTION.

TORT REFORM, WORKERS COMP

REFORM.

I WILL DRIVE THIS RESULT.

I'VE BEEN A LEADER, A BUSINESS

BUILDER.PAT QUINN HAS BEEN

GOVERNOR FOR SIX YEARS HE HAS A

DEMOCRATIC CONTROL GENERAL

ASSEMBLY.

HE COULD HAVE RAISE THE MINIMUM

WAGE.

HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR IT

IN SIX YEARS.

>> MY OPPONENT OVER AND OVER

AGAIN WITH A $63 MILLION INCOME

WAS GOING AROUND ILLINOIS

TELLING PEOPLE TO ELIMINATE THE

MINIMUM WAGE.

HE WAS ADAMANTLY AGAINST

MINIMUM WAGE.

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS LOOSE TALK

RUNNING TONIGHT THERE IS ONLY

ONE PERSON.

>> BRUCE RAUNER DID RELEASE

HIS INCOME TAX RETURNS.

DID HE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

>> WE HEARD GOVERNOR QUINN

ALLUDE TO HIS INCOME AND FRIDAY

RAUNER REVEALED HE HAD MADE $63

MILLION LAST YEAR DEFENDED HIS

POSITION NOT TO RELEASE HIS

FULL TAX RETURNS WITH ALL

PERTINENT SCHEDULES.

>> WE HAVE RELEASED FOUR YEARS

OF OUR TAX RETURNS AND MY TAX

RATE IS DRAMATICALLY HIGHER

THAN PAT QUINN'S I PAID 27

PERCENT INCOME TAXES.

I'VE ALSO DONATED TENS OF

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO GET BACK

IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> THIS CANDIDATE WANTS TO

HIDE FROM THE VOTERS THE FULL

INFORMATION ABOUT HIS TAXES IF

THERE ARE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

WE NEED TO KNOW.

OTHER CANDIDATES INCLUDING

MYSELF HAVE ALWAYS AS CLOSE

THEIR FULL SCHEDULES AND HE

SHOULD TO.

>> CRIME IS A BIG ISSUE IN THE

AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY.

WHAT DO THE CANDIDATES SAY

ABOUT THAT?

>> RAUNER CRITICIZED QUINN'S

HANDLING OF CRIME SAYING THERE

WERE ENOUGH RESOURCES MEANWHILE

GOVERNOR QUINN SAID THE KEY

ISSUE WAS TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT

OPPORTUNITIES IN BAD ASSAULT

WEAPONS.

RAUNER WHEN ASKED REPEATEDLY

NOT SAY HE WOULD BAN ASSAULT

WEAPONS.

>> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE

CAN DO ON GUNS IS MAKE SURE WE

KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF

CRIMINALS AND MENTALLY ILL

FOLKS.

THAT'S A SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT

THING THAT WE CAN DO AND I WILL

BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A QUINN

ON THIS.

WE NEED TO KEEP THE GUNS OUT OF

THE HANDS OF CRIMINALS.

>> I'M IN FAVOR OF THESE ARE

MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS THAT ARE

DESIGNED TO KILL PEOPLE.

DENISE READ HER DAUGHTER WAS

KILLED IN HER OWN HOME AND REST

FOR SCHOOL BY AN ASSAULT WEAPON

AND THIS IS PLAYING WRONG.

WE HAVE TO DEAL OF THESE

WEAPONS.MY OPPONENT WILL NOT

DO THAT, I WILL.

>> AFRICAN AMERICANS

HISTORICALLY VOTE DEMOCRATIC

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES BRUCE

RAUNER TO GET A SIZABLE PORTION

OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE?

>> HE'S THE FIRST REPUBLICAN

MINOTAUR CANDIDATE TO SET UP A

FIELD OFFICE ON THE SOUTH SIDE

OF CHICAGO JIM EDGAR.

JIM EDGAR ONE MAC 20 PERCENT OF

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE.

LOOSE RAUNER IS TRYING TO REACH

OUT TO THAT COMMUNITY.

HE HIRED INDIGO PUBLISHER.

HE'S BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH

PEOPLE LIKE THE REVEREND JAMES

MEEKS.

REMEMBER FOUR YEARS AGO BILL

BRADY DIDN'T WIN THE AFRICAN

BOTH THAT ONLY LOSS THE STATE

BY 32,000 VOTES.

THE THOUGHT IS BRUCE RAUNER CAN

PICK OFF SOME OF BOTH THE CLEAR

PATH TO VICTORY.

POLLING SHOWS QUINN HAS A

COMMANDING LEAD IN CHICAGO JUST

AS COMMANDING AS HE HAD OVER

BRADY.

IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THOSE
