Teachers may begin a “Quinn for #5″ Prison Fan Club

Pat Quinn could be Illinois Governor #5 to be jailed. 
Teachers may even start a “Quinn for #5″ Fan Club. They would jail him for one set of reasons; federal prosecutors are considering a separate set of reasons.

Democratic voters in Illinois have been wondering if this was Quinn’s (D) way to throw the race for billionaire Tea Party candidate Bruce Rauner (R) to win.
