Illinois Governor rivals Republican Bill Brady and Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn are sparring at a City Club of Chicago/WTTW channel 11 debate ably moderated by my Sun-Times colleague Carol Marin. Brady just gave a disingenuous explanation to Marin's question about his income tax disclosures.

Brady gave reporters three hours to dig through six years of returns--but would not let them make copies. He said that was plenty of time to digest all that information. He also defended running mate Plummer lack of disclosure, saying "it's a personal issue."
