Rauner to Quinn: Cut your own pension’s links to Cayman Islands
SPRINGFIELD —Fifteen hundred miles away, the Cayman Islands dominated Illinois’ governor’s race for a third straight day Wednesday with Republican Bruce Rauner going on the offensive by calling on Gov. Pat Quinn to “divest his own pension” from state retirement systems that invest in the offshore tax haven.
Quinn shot back, calling Rauner’s new focus a “canard” meant to distract from his refusal to disclose a full set of his tax returns that might show how deeply invested the Winnetka multimillionaire is personally in funds domiciled in a three-island country known as much for its beaches as tax avoidance.
