Been here for years? 9/2017?\
Curious? I don’t understand what you are talking about...”he did, at least, push the legislature to make cuts and deal with the structural spending problems the state has.”
Didn’t Rauner sign bill for state abortion funding? and Didn’t Rauner sign bill that made IL a sanctuary state? Did he even try to veto? From what I recall, he never came out and encouraged the citizenry to pressure legislators to not support ths stuff.
Sorry, tho I may vote for him if Ives does not primary him, he had a chance.
Had to make a new login. Lost my old one. Years.
” I don’t understand what you are talking about...”he did, at least, push the legislature to make cuts and deal with the structural spending problems the state has.”
Last June and early July the state of Illinois government was shut down because Rauner refused to sign a tax hike bill written entirely by corrupt House Speaker Mike Madigan (D. southwest side of Chicago) and Rauner vetoed said bill. 15 Illinois legislature republicans stabbed Rauner in the back and overrode his veto hiking taxes. If they had not we likely would have gotten structural reforms to the way Illinois spends our tax dollars.
Now we have to try again in the next budget no matter who is governor. Ives has said she will not immediately repeal the state income tax hike as Rauner has said he will.
As I said before, I bear no delusions that Rauner is a perfect candidate but he’s our only hope for structural spending and budget reform, the things I care about most. Have a nice night, Allan.
