* Tom Kacich…
Gov. Bruce Rauner didn’t spend much time in Urbana on Monday, but he did spend some money at Black Dog Smoke & Ale House before attending a fundraising event in Champaign. […]
At least two of the Black Dog customers said they were there because they had heard he was coming and wanted to deliver a message.
Julia Schmidt of Champaign said she wanted the governor “to hang in there” during his budget dispute with Democrats in the Legislature.
“I wanted to come down here and thank you for doing the good job you’re doing,” she said.
“That actually means a lot,” Rauner said. “I don’t hear that all the time.”
Wait, I thought that was a common thing…
“Everywhere I go in the state I’ve got people coming up to me by the hundreds [saying], ‘Stay strong, governor. Don’t back down, governor.’”
Either way, “Hang in there” seems to have supplanted “Don’t back down” as the new pro-Rauner slogan. Click here if you don’t believe me.
* The Question: What do you think the next pro-Rauner slogan will be?
Snark is heavily encouraged of course. Try to have fun with it. We could all use a little humor today.
