Skip to about 2:28 to hear his positive views on Occupy Wall Street.

He also says "It is the American Way"

Original Source was Think Progress,and Street TV, comments below Think Progress..

"Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn Says Protesting Wall Street Is ‘The American Way’ | The Street TV interviewed Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D) about a variety of topics in an interview posted today. Towards the end of the segment, the interviewer asked Quinn about Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Chicago. “I think it’s healthy,” replied Quinn. “I think it’s very important sometimes to walk, to assemble, to use the power of speech, press, that’s the American way. It’s very healthy I think to have people let Wall Street know that some mistakes were made in the past that hurt a lot of Americans, we’re not going to let them do it again.”

4. unfortunately IL is a big mess and Gov Quinn has cut a lot of
social program funding. He raised taxes on the rich and it just isn't enough.

5. He raised the income tax in Illinois, that took a lot of courage.
