SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn is throwing cold water on a Democratic plan to change the way Illinois draws legislative districts.

At an appearance in Glenview on Thursday, the Democratic governor said he's not sure the plan amounts to real reform.

Quinn says the measure isn't "moving the ball forward that much."

A House vote could come at any time. The plan has already been approved by the state Senate.

The Democratic plan would make it easier for the Legislature to set its own political boundaries.

Critics call that a conflict of interest.

They want an independent commission to draw the districts.

The bill is SJRCA121.
