CHICAGO (AP) -- Democratic incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican Sen. Bill Brady talked about Illinois' economy and Medicaid reform over corned beef sandwiches at a Chicago diner.
The two met for lunch for an hour Tuesday at Manny's deli, a downtown eatery popular with politicians.
Quinn invited Brady to the sit down after beating him by less than 20,000 votes in the governor's race. He said at the time he and Brady would discuss ways to "work together for the common good" of Illinois.
In addition to the state's economy, the two also discussed the importance of high-speed rail, and pension and worker compensation reforms.
After their lunch, Quinn and Brady said they agreed to disagree over the governor's desire to raise Illinois' income tax rate.
