I get the impression that he is a decent guy— as politicians go. He is stepping into quite a mess. He’s a native of Illinois so maybe he was moved by patriotism to see if he could turn the state around. I am a native too, but moved to Indiana last year. Illinois and Indiana are night and day as far as how they are run. Maybe the new Gov. Rauner saw what Mitch Daniels did in Indiana and wanted to do the same for Illinois?
I still work in Illinois and will always consider it home, so I hope Rauner is up to the task.
Thanks.
Yes, I know some Chicago-born folks out here and the loyalty runs deep.
Take care!
