Quinn aide to Labor Board faces scrutiny over qualifications
Illinois Governor Quinn sparked controversy by appointing former representative Mike Smith to the Education Labor Relations Board at a salary of 94 000 dollars per year. Critics question his five year related experience, while supporters cite his 16 years in the legislature and education committee work. The nomination was delayed by a Senate committee, though Smith may continue serving without formal confirmation.
