Brad Tusk sure has an exalted opinion of himself. I can go to any bar, bank, or legal office in Springfield and find 20 more “Young Turks” just like him - egotistical, loud (and foul) mouthed, publicity seekers. He and his buddy Lon got out before the subpoenas start flying, so they can cement down their lucrative new jobs before they get connected to the state of Illinois governing fiasco. It’s not what you do in 4 years that matters, - it’s have you left a good enough legacy to be remembered many years later? Tusk and Monk got out before the crap hit the fan.
