* I told subscribers recently that Gov. Bruce Rauner suggested that he and Democratic state Rep. Mike Smiddy have a public debate about public employee unions. Smiddy was first elected with strong support from AFSCME and the two had a spirited discussion during a meeting between Rauner and Downstate legislators. Smiddy wrote a letter to Gov. Rauner this week accepting the governor’s debate challenge…
* But the governor is reneging…
Hi, Rich:
There will be no debate, but Gov. Rauner looks forward to continuing to have spirited interchanges with Rep. Smiddy and other legislators in small and large groups about how to make Illinois more competitive and compassionate and get the most value for taxpayers. We appreciate Rep. Smiddy’s hunt for publicity and headlines. Hopefully, he will soon begin to show as much enthusiasm for saving taxpayer’s money and getting Illinois out of the worst fiscal crisis in the country.
Thanks!

Is anybody really surprised that the Governor would back out?
Hypocrite!

Smiddy should up the ante by having a guy in a chicken costume stand outside the Gov’s office.

Note to self; There needs to be a category for reneging in the Rauner’s Lies database.
Comment by Aldyth Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:14 am
No surprise. Rauner is incapable of thinking on his feet. He needs a script. Debates on issues would tax him considerably and likely end up with him looking silly.
Besides, Governor Sonny can’t be expected to actually mean something he says.

That “ck”, she gets all the “good” assignments;
The Dopey Resolutions status
The double-secret probation working group questions
Trying not to make the Governor seem more of a Dope than he is/was by challenging a single Mushroom to share the stage with the Illinois’ Governing Executive…then writing an utterly Dopey reneging email…
With that “famous”…
“ck”
By the way, who ends an email with … “Thanks!” … with an exclamation mark, expressing your Dopey boss backed down from a Mushroom?

Nothing about Rauner’s background or short time as Gov suggests that he is someone genuinely interested in listening to others. This man believes he has all the answers. Reneging on the offer is surprising to no one.
Comment by slow down Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:18 am
Rauner is something else. The Governor is the one that suggested the public debate. Then not only did he back out, but his office accused Smiddy of a “hunt for publicity and headlines.”
This Governor has got to go. I don’t think the State can survive four years of him.
Comment by Joe M Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:18 am
Not only backs out, but throws in a gratuitous insult, questioning Smiddy’s priorities, as well. Sheesh.

Bruce hardly “won” the debates against Governor Quinn. If that’s his template…..I’m not surprised he backed out.

Governor Rauner works best if cash is involved, so debates won’t work for him unless someone is willing to be bought.
Comment by VanillaMan Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:22 am
Rauner wanted to hold the debate in a secret location with no one else present.
Hilarious and pathetic at the same time. Who didn’t know loudmouth schoolyard bullies like this growing up?
“Wanna fight?”
“OK, bring it.”
“Yeah, I would, but I have more important things to do. You’re lucky I’m so busy….”
Watch out for the sucker punch, Rep. Smiddy. It’s coming. That how tough guys like Rauner roll. He’ll let his money do his fighting for him in the form of negative media.

I had a boss who ended all his emails the same way regardless of the tone/message of the email. We finally figured out that the “Thanks!, Dave” was part of his email signature that appeared on all his emails. I always considered extremely lazy.

Spokespersons (especially superstars) should know the rules of punctuation, don’t you think?
Does “taxpayer’s money” mean there’s only one taxpayer? Maybe that’s all that will be left after four years of this race to become Mississippi.
Comment by Ray del Camino Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:24 am
Expected response from any governor to such a request.
A personal talk with Smiddy, where Rauner seriously listened and learned about what he doesn’t know about unions, would help the Governor. It is never worthwhile to remain ignorant. It doesn’t have to be public to be helpful.
Comment by walker Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:26 am
oh, come on. the governor who give updates for every podunk village that supports *his* “path to recovery” complaining about somebody else’s “hunt for publicity and headlines”??? give me a break…

How is Smiddy chasing headlines by accepting the Governor’s offer? Wasn’t it his idea in the first place?

First we had the infamous Blagojevich-Jacobs debate … now we might have the Rauner-Smiddy debate … not to be confused with the Lincoln-Douglas debate
Comment by NW Illinois Dem Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:27 am
A very shady thing to back away from since it was he who suggested it occur in the first place. Id swing right back at him for his low blows about seeking publicity. These dopes are all about the spotlight.
Comment by BlameBruceRauner Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:29 am
Doh
It’d have been better to show up and get schooled then back out. Better to take a beating than be proved a coward. Better yet not to run your mouth in the first place.
Don’t most of us learn these lessons in middle school? Maybe a special class should be arranged.

Smiddy should just set a date and time for the event and invite the media. Perhaps have a cardboard cut-out of the Gov in Carharts.
Comment by The Way I See It Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:33 am
I thought the line “We appreciate Rep. Smiddy’s hunt for publicity and headlines.” was an inappropriate and immature comment.
I’m troubled by the constant messaging that the Gov is the only good guy and everyone else is self-centered.
Comment by Chicago Guy Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:33 am
Smiddy needs to simply add a check from anyone in Texas. Rauner will be right there.

Perhaps the governor’s reply could have been accomplished without taking a shot at Smiddy. This is schoolyard stuff.

Comment by Obamas Puppy Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:39 am
Dear “ck”,
Let’s breakdown your ignorant email to your own boss’ “ways”
===There will be no debate===
Your boss, he wanted it. So, you start off, right out of the box, with the pack-peddle? lol How about telling Sonny to cool his own jets, but way to open!
Continuing…
===Gov. Rauner looks forward to continuing to have spirited interchanges with Rep. Smiddy and other legislators in small and large groups ===
You work for a man who claimed he would have THE most transparent Governor’s office, and you, “ck” tout the hidden, secret, “double-secret” working groups, “large and small” as a way to have, “spirited debate”. What a jokester you are! (I added the exclamation mark to make it easy for you”!”) pretty pathetic.
“Moving on…”
===…how to make Illinois more competitive and compassionate and get the most value for taxpayers.===
Rauner. Talking. Point.
At least… try… to seem engaged in your work. I know, I know, the exclamation mark is coming..,
“Reading further…”
===We appreciate Rep. Smiddy’s hunt for publicity and headlines.===
You are a Dope.
You, yourself, are cataloging “wins” for the Rauner Resolution to, wait for it, get publicity and headlines.
Why did I call you a Dope? Easy, your boss challenged Smiddy! (See what I did there with the exclamation mark”!”)
Your boss got called on a debate, and Smiddy wants headlines. How about this. Don’t. Challenge. Mushrooms.
So, to recap this section, you, and your boss seek publicity for these Rauner Resolutions, but it’s Smiddy who seeks the spotlight by accepting a chalkengs, that you are now writing an email reneging on it? Yikes.
“This might be my favorite from you…”
=== Hopefully, he will soon begin to show as much enthusiasm for saving taxpayer’s money and getting Illinois out of the worst fiscal crisis in the country.===
…say the Press Flack wasting taxpayers’ time in an utterly ignorant campaign of non-binding resolutions that aren’t even passing! (I used an exclamation mark for ya.)
Your boss, the Governor, is wasting time; his time, the taxpayers’ time…your own time, and you have this idea of reneging on a debate your boss wanted is also because he feels Smiddy shoukd focus? Priceless.
“Oh boy, here it comes… wait for it..,”
===Thanks!===
I do feel the exclamation mark really says it all about this email, the response, the challenge, the reneging;
Loud, useless, unintentionally funny, and ignorant to why responding and ending the response like this is bush league.
Welp, I enjoyed the email. It speaks volumes.
The Press Shop responds to things that are utterly useless to governing, but they do it with rhetoric, lacking self-awareness, and a touch of flair.
Congratulations

=== We survived Blago, hopefully we can survive 3 more years of this sorry excuse for a governor. ===
I thought Blago would have been defeated in his first re-election. He wasn’t. Gov Sonny will pay all he can to get re-elected so buckle up for a long and extremely bumpy ride.
Comment by Norseman Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:43 am
I’m no fan of Rauner’s, but I can’t believe that debate challenge was ever sincere, or that Smiddy thought it was. Still, if he put it out there, he deserves the ding from Smiddy and that email from ‘ck’ is a crappy way to respond to your own unforced error.
Comment by Century Club Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:43 am
Under the bus, Smiddy! Don’t mess with me or I will destroy you. Just kidding. ; /
Comment by Joe Isuzu Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:47 am
Pretty sure there’s a much bigger picture than “afraid to debate Smiddy”. It would be a counterproductive effort to say the least and should never have been suggested in the first place. Rauner’s bad on that one.
Compounding it would be more distracting. I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head in Springfield who would be “afraid” to debate Smiddy. That’s just goofy.
A lot more important things to do than a dopey sideshow like this. I’m sure the Governor’s advisers immediately suggested this was dopey and put the kibosh on it. It was silly on it’s face. Unforced error. Learn from it.

Comment by Rich Miller Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:49 am
Note to CK: gratuitous digs like the shot at Rep. Smiddy do nothing to advance the Gov’s cause and serve only to undermine you as his spokesperson. The campaign ended in November. It’s time to focus on governing.

Comment by Jimmy CrackCorn Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:59 am
Thanks - Norseman -.
As a Press Shop, you’d think there would be a better work-product for something like this, but, a governor’s Press Shop shouldn’t have to respond to a Mushroom accepting a debate from the governor on policy, so there’s that…
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:59 am
–… can’t believe the debate challenge was sincere…–
CC, given Rauner’s rhetoric and actions as both a candidate and as governor, I don’t think you can go wrong doubting his sincerity on anything.
Here’s a guy who used secret money to dirty up Schock, Brady, Dillard and Rutherford before the primary then lied about having anything to do with it.
A guy who tried to force the Libs off the ballot, including sending armed goons to some of their homes to intimidate, then lied about having anything to do with it.
A guy who lied when he said his reactionary anti-union agenda was “not a priority” (does anyone think he would have been elected if voters knew it would be his top priority?).
I hope the Blago experience remains fresh in everyone’s mind. We’ve seen this movie before.
Comment by Wordslinger Friday, May 1, 15 @ 10:59 am
Dear “ck”:
I have long enjoyed your work. The specials on Netflix and the current TV series are classic you. Same for the response to Smiddy.
So is it a lawyer/management/compensation/merch thing that prevents your including your first name in these political postings?
What say you, Louis?

@Wordslinger:
As for dirtying up his primary opponents, those who entered the race and a potential rival, where were the major media outlets? There were fingerprints of Rauner’s allies and operatives all over the place, but nobody would make the connections. Many of the roads seemed to lead to Orland, Palos and Palatine Townships.

Mike Smiddy squeaked out a narrow victory in 2014 over an incredibly weak political opponent. So as 2016 approaches look for Rauner to recruit a “strong alternative” and then pour enough cash into the race to end Mike Smiddy’s fledgling political career.
Dumb.
Comment by PoliticalPro Friday, May 1, 15 @ 12:25 pm
===Mike Smiddy squeaked out a narrow victory in 2014 over an incredibly weak political opponent===
Yep, true, except for the “weak” part. But that’s a GOP district, and except for guns, Smiddy isn’t exactly a GOP type. He also didn’t follow “the program” until late in the game. 16 is a much different year unless Hillary implodes.
In other words, if they couldn’t beat him last time, it doesn’t look good for next year.

There might be more and more Dems on the MJM “program”, given the $60 million and, honestly, not knowing how Rauner will take on Dems in the Primaries and the General.
