Governor Quinn Decides on 311 Clemency Petitions in Advance of Thanksgiving

11/26/2014

28 Comments

 
On the eve of Thanksgiving Day, Governor Pat Quinn released one of his last batches of clemency decisions.  Included in this group are 126 granted and 185 denied.  This brings Governor Quinn's all time total number of clemency decisions to 3,358, with 1,239 of them being granted.

Because the backlog of petitions was so big under former Governor Blagojevich, Quinn still has many petitions that are pending before him.  Hopefully, he will continue to do a good job of chipping away at the backlog in his final months in office.  In that same vein, we also call on Governor-elect Rauner to pick up where Governor Quinn left off in showing mercy for those rehabilitated folks that have moved on from a criminal background.

Congratulations to those that received their long-awaited pardon on this holiday weekend! Those 126 receiving clemency will certainly have one more big item to be thankful for.
