Lieutenant governor critical of Blagojevich

When his own re-election was on the line 18 months ago, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn steadfastly defended Gov. Rod Blagojevich even as a federal investigation swirled around the governor's administration.

These days, Quinn has reversed course dramatically, heaping criticism on Blagojevich to help spearhead an effort to give voters the option of recalling a governor from office.

But Quinn, a longtime self-styled government watchdog, also refuses to say if he thinks voters should relieve Blagojevich of his duties or pick Quinn to replace him.

...

Quinn said that recent developments in the federal investigation of the Blagojevich administration have altered his thinking.

1. Pat Quinn is one of the few honet ones in Illinois

I would believe him above most of them. Certainly he is more honest than Blagojevich. ..I have followed him for many years.
He is ok in my book..(and there aren't many in Illinois)
