By Leslie Wertheimer

SPRINGFIELD - May 23, 2012. Governor Pat Quinn today released a statement regarding United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's announcement that he will step down.

"I thank Patrick Fitzgerald for all the hard work he and the U.S. Attorney's office have done to root out and prosecute corruption in Illinois."
