Police: Ill Gov. Quinn's appointee used racial slurs (Video)

ABC TV Chicago reports:
In Friday's Intelligence Report: Trouble for one of Gov. Pat Quinn's newest appointees to a top state position.

The I-Team has learned that Illinois Labor Relations Board appointee Mike Joyce was arrested in 2009 in an incident that police say involved racial slurs from Joyce.

Gov. Quinn appointed Mike Joyce to the Illinois Labor Relations Board on Valentine's Day. The state board position pays more than $90,000 a year.

On Friday, though, the governor told the I-Team he was unaware of Mr. Joyce's run-in with the law, an incident that police say involved Joyce repeatedly using the "N-word" at officers.
