Illinois Governor Pat Quinn fled the state's Capitol building through the basement after a lengthy day of debating a rescue plan for the troubled state, according to CBS Chicago.

The state's current government is attempting to rush through income tax reforms prior to the new assembly being sworn in later this week.
