CHICAGO (AP) — The Illinois governor candidates have been ridiculing each other’s budget plans, with Republican Bruce Rauner accusing Gov. Pat Quinn of leading a “tax-happy” state and the Chicago Democrat countering that Rauner’s proposal to cut income taxes will lead to painful cuts to schools, social services and public safety.

But a closer look at their claims shows both sides are playing a little fast and loose with the numbers, and neither has specified a plan that truly addresses Illinois’ monumental financial problems.
