CHICAGO, ILL. (AP) -- The two big name Democratic candidates for governor have a busy week ahead.
Gov. Pat Quinn and challenger Dan Hynes will meet up at two candidate forums Wednesday.
One is at the Union League Club of Chicago and another that's part of the annual meeting of the Campaign for Better Health Care.
Yesterday, the two faced off in Rockford where they accused each other of ducking hard decisions, misleading taxpayers and cozying up to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich (blah-GOY'-uh-vich).
They did agree on the concept of selling a state prison to the federal government to house suspected terrorists and on the need to raise taxes to help close a budget deficit.
But they spent most of their time on the attack.
