What’s Up With Illinois? A Chat with Governor Pat Quinn
In 2011, former Gov. Rod Blagoevich was convicted on 20 counts of corruption prior to Gov. Patt Quinn taking office.
“This is a time for governance and reform. Politics — we can do that next year,” Quinn told the Don & Roma Show. And he was faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of repairing the Illinois state government.
As we look back, and as 2014 governor candidates announce running plans, has he?
In an exclusive for In the Loop, host Chris Bury sat down with the governor to discuss some of the state’s issues like much-needed pension reform, conceal and carry, and Rahm’s vision for Illinois casinos, to name a few.

We kqedscience:Whole Foods Shows Customers the Bleak Future of Produce Without Bees
“The decline in bee populations has been all the buzz lately, which led Whole Foods Market to team up with the Xerces Society to show us what a world—or at least, produce section—without bees would look like. The University Heights, Rhode Island store removed all foods that are reliant upon the important pollinators, and it leaves a pretty slim selection; 52% of the produce department’s offerings would be pulled from shelves without bees around to help.”
