Quinn: Voters have ‘heard enough’ about Jackson
Gov. Pat Quinn says Illinois voters have “heard enough” about U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s reason for disappearing from public view.
Quinn says he prays every day for the Democratic congressman and thinks the rest of Illinois should pray for Jackson, too.
Jackson has been on leave for a month, citing unspecified health problems. Family and staff haven’t said where he is or provided even general information about his treatment.
Some officials say Jackson owes voters more information.
But the Democratic governor said Wednesday, “I think you’ve heard enough — that he has some health challenges that he’s dealing with right now. “
