AP review shows new Ill. gov. often paid own way

Sent from Express News
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Hours before he was removed as Illinois governor, a bitter Rod Blagojevich insinuated that his successor, Pat Quinn, was not the straight shooter many believed him to be and had abused the perks of office by frivolously traveling "all over the world" for his job.

In fact, Quinn did make overseas business trips - 10 in his six years as lieutenant governor. But he billed the state for just two of those treks.
