Immediately before photo Rauner asks: “Is there ANY Black Legislator who will stand up for the millionaires and also help me defeat AFSCME? Please raise your hand.”
Black voters in Dunkin’s don’t likely have cushy labor jobs, if any job at all. So labor can whine but likely can’t win in Ken’s House District.-
Maybe he should have shown up then, to protect their child care while they work those poor paying jobs or try to get an education to break the cycle..or did you miss that vote was the same day and lost by ONE.
After missing some key votes in Springfield, Rep. Ken Dunkin (D-for Done) raises his arm strategically at a recent parade, covering up an unfortunate typo in a sign that read “Duckin’”
