Illinois gov, opponent clash over investments

As one of the most competitive US governor's races picks up, voters in Illinois are hearing a whole lot about a British territory far away in the Caribbean. Democratic Gov Pat Quinn hammered his wealthy Republican rival for days after reports that Bruce Rauner put some investments in the Cayman Islands, a place often criticized as a tax haven and that has caused political problems for US candidates, including 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Rauner's campaign fired back, saying Quinn's own pension fund – and that of many Illinois teachers and other public employees - are tied to investments there, according to a news agency.
