Lasting Importance • I will always remember Pat Quinn as the great governor of Illinois. He has created so many jobs to enhance the economy, and even more jobs are still being made. Within those jobs, many are “green,” so while he is improving the economy, he is also improving the environment. He is a great man and his memory will always remain with the Illinois citizens, as well as me.
