Had to make a new login. Lost my old one. Years.
” I dont 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.
Look at Rauner's face after getting crushed by Ives.
About all Rauner could do to defend his failed term was to keep muttering Mike Madagan in his empty replies to Ives withering attacks.
Watch the whole thing for yourself here and see that Jeanne knows what she is talking about and Rauner seems utterly stupefied.
Gov. Rauner drinks chocolate milk to demonstrate his commitment to diversity. Chocolate milk!? Really we are on the other side of the looking glass here in Illinois.
Bruce sure Kirked himself good but remember he won on the same ballot with Durbin so the rank and file union automatons could have been given marching orders to vote for him but he has been abandoned by his already shallow base. Bruce had his chance and was a miserable failure, he should just drop out and be happy that he isn't going directly to jail like several of our past Governors.
Illinois is the tip of the spear in the fight against big government tyranny, the battle is here, good men and women are in the fight, come on in and get some.
