Still focused on financial fraud. The Governor still does not believe bills have to be paid. This is not a bankruptcy reorganization. Illinois is solvent and we are not gonna settle for pennies on the dollar. This is not a bankruptcy proceeding.
Holding funding hostage is undesirable, and the continued operations of important governmental functions should continue while necessary and complex reforms are being negotiated. Got it.
Him calling education a political football is like the pot calling the kettle black.
Didnt he buy a condo in the city so he could preference his children into a better school?
You know after this presidential campaign and Bruces run for Governor, I’m beginning to believe just because you’ve claimed to have run a business does NOT mean you have the skills to be successful politically.
This guy keeps saying the same things over and over again, but people don’t seem to hear him. It’s true that his manner of speaking is a bit odd, but his message is right there for all to see. Down with unions, down with non-charter public schools, down with human services, down with the lesser state universities. Yes to the financial industry.

Still beating the Pension “Reform” drum… “If we could only take money away from those we owe it to, we could support schools and social programming. I wanna support teachers, by “reforming” their pensions… I wanna make it leagal for government to load up with debt then declare bancruptcy (after all, that’s how I made my money in the private sector)” –Fake Governor Rauner
None of this will result in us “Growin’ our way out of the budget crisis”
“I wanna support teachers, by “reforming” their pensions… ”
There is something terribly wrong with that sentence. One cannot support teachers by taking away their pensions. Reforming a person’s pension is never good.
Then stop. You inflated the football, governor, by vetoing the entire budget except education. If you would just do the job you were elected to do in good faith, we would actually have a budget.

So how many high school assemblies has our governor spoken to in the last year?
The message always seems to be the same.
Just wishing he would spend as much time listening and talking to to the GA.

“We have to stop treating our public schools as political footballs”
He makes that political statement while he is at a school. I love the irony of this politician.

That’s what higher education and social services are for.
