Quinn Sworn In As Gov. To Replace Blagojevich

Pat Quinn To Be Sworn In As Illinois' Next Gov. If Rod Blagojevich Is Impeached

CHICAGO (AP) ― Pat Quinn has been sworn in as Illinois' new governor.

Quinn took the oath of office moments after the state Senate voted to remove Rod Blagojevich, who was ousted on charges of abuse of power.

Quinn had served for two terms under Blagojevich, but the two had little in common. In fact, Quinn has said the men have not spoken in more than a year, and Blagojevich said last year that Quinn was not even part of his administration.

Quinn is a 60-year-old former state treasurer and tax attorney. He is best known for his efforts to cut big government and protect the little guy. One of the most pressing issues for him is the state's deficit of more than $3 billion.
