From the Chicago Reader:
Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn held a fund-raiser Monday night—but he refused to accept any funds at it. Quinn spokesman Bob Reed said Quinn “didn’t feel it was appropriate” to throw a check-collecting party while the country is waiting to find out the latest sordid details in the state’s latest pay-to-play scandal. Instead, Reed said, the gathering “became a holiday reception.”
But that doesn’t mean the lieutenant governor won’t receive donations at other times. Interest in Quinn has grown in proportion to disgust with embattled governor Rod Blagojevich; expect the money to flow in even faster if impeachment proceedings against Blagojevich move along.
