Quinn not attending park rally
Chicago television personality Oprah Winfrey may - or may not - attend the Save the Parks Rally in Morris on Saturday, rally organizer Rachel Pfaff contends.
It's not up in the air with Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn, however, who will be absent, a spokesman for his office confirmed to-day.
This although Pfaff says the lieutenant governor told her earlier he would be among the speakers.
“He gave me his word he's coming,” Pfaff said today.
“Pat Quinn said to me, face-to-face, he'd be here. This was at a press conference in Springfield on Sept. 17. I had my (Save the Parks) committee with me.”
Quinn spokesman Marlena Jentz confirmed this morning that Quinn cannot make it to the rally, which begins at Stratton Park in Morris at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct.
