I don’t care who it is, Quinn, Lisa Madigan, Bill Daley, Kennedy, Kwame Raoul, Rod Blagojevich, Jim Edgar, Jimmy Swaggert, or Keith Moreland. I will take anybody, and I mean anybody, as long as it is not Bruce Rauner.
Hey, at least I would have passed an unconstitutional budget just like my predecessors even if it meant things would be far worse down the line. That is what the people of Illinois have come to expect and love, just follow this blog if you don’t believe me.
You got it MAMA….just another “ideologue” like the one you Dems put in the WH see the wonderful article in the Trib by Victor Hannon today. That is what you gave us for the last 8 years. Big talk no DO
Former Governor Quinn, this type of petition drive does NOTHING to help the current mess the state is in. The State of Illinois has term limits….it’s called elections! Instead of only trying to promote YOURSELF, offer a viable plan to end the stalemate. We know how you WORK DAY AND NIGHT for solutions, and since you are planning on running again, there is no better time to offer up a plan.
