Pat Quinn heads into his State of the State address Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014 with his top priority of pension reform inked into the law. Quinn's role in the pension overhaul has been criticized. Fahner said it wasn’t until 2011, two years after Quinn took office, that Quinn took it seriously. By that time Illinois’ pension crisis was evolving into a national embarrassment. (AP Photo/M.
