Rauner (Moderate Repub) who was Governor before Pigster couldn’t get a single thing accomplished b/c Chicago Dems completely control the state legislature because of the insane SCOTUS ruling from decades ago that said state senate elections had to be basically another version of the state House of Reps.... states were not ALLOWED to have their state senate composed of 1 senator from each county ... they had to be elected like representatives based on population. A completely insane leftist SCOTUS ruling that is the single reason blue states are blue - completely controlled by large cities with no representation for the red counties.... just look at the map posted earlier of Illinois. All red except basically Chicago. (Please let Justice Thomas know that SCOTUS MUST re-visit this ruling to save our country!)
Also, don’t forget the IL corruption. Rauner delivered truckloads of signatures to get Term Limits placed on the ballot... all according to protocol. But a chicago leftist Judge declared it invalid and denied the bid to get the issue on the ballot. Despite Rauner following every rule... it just takes one obama-like judge.
