You can watch the whole event by clicking here. * But don’t kid yourself. He was apparently just trying to avoid overly incendiary rhetoric. From an administration official…

When is the governor going to start a drumbeat for his specific reforms, the way he has against unbalanced budgets?

I think the only people who weren’t 100% sure Governor Rauner would veto the budget were the HGOP caucus, lol.

Of course he’ll veto. But let’s see what the Senate does. I know one Senate Democrat who (at least for right now) swears he/she will not vote for a budget that does not contain revenue. A lot of those Democrats are fed up with the games as well.

With a budget passed that is $7 billion in the hole and jammed through by the Dems. Rauner might come out looking the reasonable one. I’m surprised by his tone since the events of yesterday. I was expecting some strong crazy rhetoric, but he has kept his cool.

Good on Rauner for focusing on the =doable=, not the =war= or the attempted =sabotage= of compromise efforts.
The leaders meeting should be fun. What will Madigan try today to run out the clock and derail any possible compromise or progress?

Are you deaf?

=The governor wants to focus on balanced budget=
Since when? It would help if he EVER proposed one.

If he vetoes everything but K-12, spending will still increase $700 million over this year. Or he could slash an education appropriation. Well done.

Where is this cheshire cat messaging coming from with the GOP?
I thought Madigan was a mirthless strongman crime boss (see “Obey”) and now he is a cheshire cat?
Bruce got money invested in Disney’s new Alice movie coming out this weekend?

1:18 : I can hear the governor talk about reform and turnaround, and of course I love that, but I don’t know what he means. I’m waiting for him to tell me.

The two of you should be collecting Hilton points together. Really.

What are you implying exactly?
I used to troll you because it was fun and easy to pick away at your credibility lest you persuade a few of the more gullible readers here. Absent an apology to Norseman, myself, our host and Hilton Reward Members everywhere, I will forever consider it my duty to rhetorically abuse you at every opportunity.
Because it’s not only fun and easy, now you’ve made it personal.

“What are you implying exactly?”
That is my response to 70% of his posts.

Rauner would veto a BALANCED budget if it didn’t include his poison pill turnaround agenda points!! So there’s no big surprise here.
