You kids are new to politics so let me explain to you how this works. I just tell you I want to help you, but I won’t actually take any action to actually help you out.”
Gov Rauner explains to students that the reason they are having problems finishing their game design is because their schools district does not have the ability ban collective bargaining and is being forced to pay prevailing wage laws. “The best way to ensure we fix your game design is by passing my Turnaround Agenda” concluded Rauner.
