SHARE Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn in D.C. for National Governors Association meeting

WASHINGTON–Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is flying to Washington on Friday morning for the National Governors Association meeting. He’ll be at the White House with other Democratic governors later today to meet with President Obama. Quinn is scheduled to be part of a press availability with other Dem governors at the White House after the Obama meeting. This is the first time Quinn is at the NGA as a governor elected in his own right—not as the lieutenant governor who was promoted after Rod Blagojevich was impeached.
