I’m going to be traveling (already started a bit), and I expect to spend a lot of the summer playing with cars. During any downtime, read some more mystery and history books.
If I’m in town, occasionally lift a few beverages with some friends locked out by the State if it comes to that.

I’ll be going to Lego Land to see if I can build some alternate universe of working government.

Watching national Fox News play up the impasse by depicting a heroic Republican taking on the mean Obama Democrats.

I guess my internship for the Legislature will actually be busier than first thought

Copying the emails from “ck” and then drive to all the towns she listed in them and have the elected officials of those towns sign them
Comment by Oswego Willy Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 2:08 pm
I will be watching the regular posters here get all crazed because the governor is actually trying to do what he said he’d do. This is a novel concept in these parts! Watching the beneficiaries of the status quo squirm when threatened is fun.

Going to work every weekday only to find out I am still locked out.

Write a treatment about a wealthy man running and winning the Governirship of a big state and how his staff is continually putting out or lighting fires.
It’s a comedy.
Watch it get turned down dozens of times as unrealistic…

Maybe I’ll pass you on the road. I’m going to be in the Chicago burb’s in a couple of weeks.

Eating popcorn and sitting on the couch watching the Godfather Trilogy - I mean, the State of Illinois Trilogy… with “Turnaround” commercials.

Pull a chair up to the TV and breathlessly await the stunning ads from the governor. Because I just didn’t enough of them before the election. Not!

Starting up “Victim Anonymous.” Membership limited to those living in the Springfield cocoon.
Free membership to those Democrats leading veto proof majorities who are claiming to be held hostage by a single man who had the audacity to challenge them. Double free membership to those claiming to be hostages!

I plan to help Bruce pass his ballot initiative that takes away voting rights from any one that makes less than $100,000 a year. Poor people deserve no rights whatsoever.

My plans?!? I’ve already got my popcorn. Waiting for the stuff to hit the fan.
And, As I have in previous overtime sessions, I plan to wear the same suit everyday overtime session day in protest.
By July, that thing should be RIPE.

Bringing Governor Rauner to the community I work for and asking him,”do you really want to take away those community funds, after seeing how badly they are needed?”

Comment by Wensicia Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 5:05 pm
First:
Study the hundreds of past public pronouncements of candidate Rauner + Governor Rauner (and GOLDBERG et al)
Then:
make big $$$ by authoring & copyrighting a new definition for “reform” as it applies in Rauner-world

Wonderin’ whether Rauner can find his $18 dollar watch to wear in his ads, wishin’ he would instead use the $30,000,000 to pay some state bills instead of givin’ it to ad agencies.
