Quinn to review Blago's decisions — including Pontiac prison

And more good news.

"Quinn said he'd also review major decisions made by Blagojevich, such as a plan to move the Illinois Department of Transportation from Springfield to southern Illinois, to decide if they should stand.

That also applies to the Blagojevich administration's plan to shutter the Pontiac Correctional Center, he said.

Quinn made it clear that because of his new job, multiple changes are on the horizon for state government.

More than a dozen shuttered state parks and historic sites that closed Nov. 30 should be reopened "with dispatch," he said. Blagojevich ordered them closed because of budget problems."
