Fun quote but they don’t seem that far apart. Rauner just needs to drop the poison pills and the Dems need to accept some reforms including WC causation and they are done.
I think they are in the same universe, I just don’t think they are in the same state all of the time.
Interesting to hear John Kasich on Meet the Press this weekend respond to the criticism that he hasn’t done what other Midwest Governors (Walker) has done. His said he isn’t in Wisconsin and had to work with both parties to govern in Ohio. Nice to hear a grownup discuss government.

Even more interesting to hear that John Kasich on Meet the Press said he favors giving millions of work visas to foreign citizens so they can compete for jobs with American citizens.
==You get regular reports from the Dem leader camps==
Respectfully, those are about as credible as reports from Rep leader camps imho. This seems more like an attempt to repeat something often enough that people may begin to believe it.
That is not meant as snark or a ==diss== or whatever the kids say, wordslinger. I am just skeptical these days lol.

Yeah, I think they are playing a different game.
Madigan and Cullerton are trying to get a budget deal done.
Rauner views the budget as a negotiation point for other matters that concern him.
The focus of their actions is completely different, which makes negotiation different.

Governor Kasich also said he tried to pass some “anti-union” bills, and it became clear that that wouldn’t work for Ohio.

Love me some Kent Redfield.

I’m not sure how engaged the governor is.
You get regular reports from the Dem leader camps that the governor “didn’t know this” or “wasn’t aware of that.”
Then there are the flips.
It’s hard to see a really well-thought-out game plan being executed.

They’re certainly reading off different scripts.

Why do people care what Kent Redfield thinks?

Says somebody who clearly has no clue who Kent Redfield is.

What a great line by one of the smartest and most humble guys to ever study Illinois politics.
