There's been a lot of action since our last update on the Democratic gubernatorial primary.  Here's the latest:

Over the weekend, Gov. Pat Quinn received the endorsement of both Citizen Action/Illinois and the Sierra Club.  The campaign posted this video from a chilly lakefront press conference announcing the latter: 

Quinn is scheduled to be endorsed by a slew of Democrats from Chicago's West Side this morning, including Rep. Danny Davis.

Challenger Dan Hynes also pulled in a major endorsement from the Illinois Federation of Teachers, which he will announce today. He received further support from three smaller unions on Friday -- the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 241, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1546, and the International Brotherhood of the Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers, and Helpers Local 1.

Meanwhile, in their capacity as governor and comptroller for the state, a dispute has broken out between Quinn and Hynes over a $500 million short-term borrowing plan.  The Herald & Review's Kurt Erickson runs down the series of events last week:

On Wednesday, Quinn told reporters that Comptroller Dan Hynes, who is challenging Quinn for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, is dragging his feet on the loan.

Quinn said Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias is on board.

Giannoulias, however, wasn't on board. [...]

Not only did Giannoulias blow a hole in Quinn's story, but Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who also is supposed to review details of the loan, reportedly said Quinn's office hadn't been clear in its intentions.

Either Quinn got bad information from his own advisers or he just wants to play politics instead of run state government.

Quinn also got whacked by the Tribune's Rick Pearson for suggesting that the state's constitutional officers had "worked together" well on borrowing issues back when he was state treasurer in the early 1990s"

What Quinn didn’t mention is that as state treasurer in 1992, he single-handedly blocked an effort by then-Gov. Jim Edgar to borrow money to pay overdue bills to state vendors in a failed effort to leverage money for the Chicago Public Schools.

On Friday, the governor said there is a "human toll" to the delay from the comptroller's office.  Watch it:

The treasurer's office told Capitol Fax later that afternoon that they are yet to make a decision on the borrowing plan.  Look for them to announced their position some time this week.

Full Disclosure: The SEIU Illinois State Council, which sponsors this website, has endorsed Pat Quinn in the Democratic primary for governor.
