In the s, Quinn led a petition drive called the Illinois Initiative to amend the Illinois Constitution to provide people from Illinois with the same power to enact statutes through the process of referendum that is used in other states, notably California.
Though Quinn's petition drive was successful, his efforts were blocked by the Illinois Supreme Court.

About this process, Quinn said, "Lawmaking by initiative is both practical and workable in Illinois. Other large industrial states like Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts and California have found the initiative process to be an excellent way of directly involving average citizens in state government decision making.

Quinn used his line-item veto power on a budget bill to eliminate lawmakers' pay for August 1 from the budget.
Quinn also voluntarily suspended his own pay until a deal could be reached. Judy Baar Topinka , then the state comptroller , questioned the legality of Quinn's budget cut. She promised to complete a legal review on Quinn's action before the scheduled date that lawmakers were supposed to receive their paychecks.
Quinn expressed hope that this act would force state lawmakers to resolve the problem quickly. On July 30, Speaker of the House Michael Madigan D and President of the Senate John Cullerton D responded by filing a lawsuit against the governor, arguing the denial of pay was unconstitutional as it undermined the separation of powers.

The money came from 11 "tax checkoff funds," financed by the contributions of Illinois taxpayers who can check off a box on their tax returns to automatically donate to one of several charities.
A government spokesperson claimed the state was borrowing the money temporarily and would repay it within several months, but some of the affected charities complained the funds were being misused.
