"That's really sad--but I guess the voters of Chicago have gotten what they voted for."
Uh, he's the gov of Illinois, not just Chicago.
There is no such thing as the Governor of Illinois. Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the country. If the rest of the state voted together in a block they still would not have enough votes to over come Chicago. Chicago just feeds of the rest of Illinois.
Mea Culpa--I know he's the governor. Guess I just had Chicago on the brain (I've had kids living there for years--but all three are back home, now, thank goodness!)
