Leaders to meet again today, but there may be bigger news
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - Posted by Rich Miller * The four legislative leaders and the governor will meet today at 11 o’clock. It’s just the third time they will have met this calendar year, but the second time this month. Speaker Madigan’s spokesman confirmed that his boss will also attend. Discussion topics? …Adding… Legendary White Sox player Frank “The Big Hurt” Thomas will be at the Statehouse today around noon. Thomas supports the fantasy sports legalization bill. So, that’s some good news outta Springfield for a change.

So let me guess.
It’ll play out like this: Rauner’s nice during the meeting, genuinely concerned. “I’ll tell you what, let’s forego the AFSCME override, and I promise — I promise — I’ll work something out.”
Madigan, Cullerton buy it.
AFSCME override fails.
Rauner switches back into full attack mode — and proceeds with forcing a strike — and forcing thousands of union workers off the payroll.
Come on, Madigan. Come on, Cullerton. Override that bill. That’s the only thing that will prevent a catastrophic meltdown of Illinois government.

Except that these fantasy sports companies make a fortune from schmucks who play, and some of the contests are rigged.

I play fantasy sports.
I didn’t used to think the contests were rigged.
I am not so sure now.
