I think Rauner launched a cyber attack on your site from one of the companies that he outsourced to China.

I think it’s safe to say in response to your coverage of McKinneygate GRTC bought out your service provider or at least that is what I assumed when I couldn’t get in.

Rich, you might want to consider doing what IR has done and just cave in to rauner, tail between their tiny stubby little legs.

If it is any consolation, Chicago Sun Times Customer Service site seems to be having problems too. When I finally got into it to cancel my subscription, a Quinn advertisement popped up advising me to vote early for Quinn. Decided to do that first and hold off the cancellation.
