Very bad proposal, no matter what you think about term limits.
I would bet less than 1/2 of 1% of the signers actually realized they were signing on for changing the size, structure, and processes of the legislature, and the Governor’s veto prerogatives, in addition to term limits.
To fold it all into one, while publicly touting only term limits, is so misleading to the voters, as to approach deliberate fraud, IMO.
But credit to his organization; he pulled it off.
He and his money will also pull off staffed campaign field offices, where none would otherwise exist.
If you thinks I was stupid to spend over $500K for petitions for a change no one cares about, think how stupid my opponents will be for spending $600K to try and invalidate them!
Whenever someone does this, it reminds me of this:
“On Thursday, in the midst of his second “State of the State” speech, Gov. Rod Blagojevich stopped speaking in order to retrieve an 18-inch stack of paper from behind the podium”
“At one point during Blagojevich’s speech, the governor picked up a stack of papers that he said were 2,800 pages of the board’s administrative rules. He referred to them as a “bureaucratic nightmare.”"
“Blagojevich’s audience of legislators laughed and clapped Thursday when he held up a foot-high stack of papers - 2,800 pages, he said - of agency rules that schools must follow.”
“Before we get started, Is the Teamster Diver of the Semi here. Yes, there you are. i see you. I SEE you, you can stop waving that ’single finger’ at me…”
I’m only doing this because I knew Oswego Willie wouldn’t believe me without a picture. Now if he’d kindly send a link of it to Word Slinger, I’ll have completed my due diligence.
“Questions? Yes? Excuse me? What was that? Me? No! I didn’t circulate any of these, that’s for the little people. I’m the ‘idea’ guy, important. ‘Did I get any signa..’ What a Dopey question.”
“Everyone is asking for details and how Illinois will prosper with me as your goveror, well here it is. Our volunteer employees will be filing taxes on their signature income. I’m a job creator. Everyone of these hard working people worked for less than minimum wage.”
“The petitions are ‘in order’ and Notarized. Sadly, the Notary, by complete happenstance, is now on a World Cruise until February of 2015, but trust me..,”
“No, I didn’t read the petition, I have lawyers for that…Stuff… Stuff! Term limits, Senate district shifting thingy… Fewer, yes… Well, honestly, I fear Madigan more, so taking seats away from Cullerton WAS the compromise…”
I’m not crazy about the concept of term limits. I hate the structural changes. However, I pray that it survives the inevitable challenges and gets on the map. The process as it exists is rigged and revolting, and I am convinced this is the only hope for real reform. And no matter how much money he put behind it, 591K petitions is impressive.
“Hello again, Mr. Rauner…Yep, it’s me…. Yes…no, no Dog today… Boxes…no, these are fake, sir, your petitions are already traveling… Yep, staged pictures again! ‘Yea!… No dog, you don’t need it, this is about the petitions…I didn’t BRING the dog… No…. Just stand there… In front of the sign, yes, please… Yeah, I see, I see, no Carhartt… just stand there… No, they are fake boxes, you don’t need to lift them… Just stand… I do have the stuffed dog, I have it. It’s not here! … Chip!…”
“Ok, Chip says I need to back up to get all the boxes, so…(sigh)… We need to take a few more….Not with the dog, but just me farther back, so stand there…there… No, there…I’m going back …here…back here.., so look at me…don’t save, I see you …please don’t wave… Yes, pretty far, but I see you, so just…. Stop.Waving!…put your arm at your side and…yes, if you were holding a leash of the prop dog, you couldn’t wave, lets just pretend… Arm down.., now look here…stop pouting…stop… I am sorry, next time I will bring the dog… You are paying I know, talk to Chip… Just one picture, please.., better, look here…,”
$250 for these backdrops and you hardly notice that we’re in a big shed. That’s what I advise for state retirees who will be living in sheds when I get done cutting their pensions.
All these signatures show overwhelming support for term limits. Its even more than the Thompson Proposition got and we all know what a far reaching impact that great proposal had on Illinois.
