As painfully boring as these are, and despite being no more than blatant campaigning, it really is better than not for the Governor to do these events. Being accessible and providing some information (albeit slanted) has more good components than bad.
Could you imagine Madigan doing likewise?!
P.S. The shout-outs are especially awful, they need to go away.

Should be a pretty quick #year2review seeing as how nothing’s been accomplished. Just sayin’.

I submitted a question and now I wish I had rephrased it as the Governor replied to it. His answers to the questions were so convoluted and all ended up being about term limits and freezing property taxes, he repeated himself too much. I did appreciate the comments that the chat was not closed captioned for the hearing impaired. Awkward way to address your constituents.

I don’t think advising on Facebook dog-and-pony shows will be Sandack’s first government client.

you would think they could turn the overhead lights on for the guy when he is catching up on paperwork. Budget cuts I suppose….

Is that a smartphone to his left or a scientific calculator used to calculate the amount of debt he’s amassed?

The first two years have gone great! Hopefully in two more years we won’t have a state government at all

Wow he’s so busy, no wonder he hasn’t found time in 2 years to perform his basic constitutional duty of submitting a balanced budget.

Great idea.

My, those look like an awful lot of blank notebooks around the Governor. Must be a list of his accomplishments so far…

Is it necessary to have two lamps on when you have a one track mind, my way or the highway?

Thought I’d give a look during my lunch break. I wouldn’t call an audience of 330-360 (watching the ticker) viewers a great success.

From the picture, it looks like he is looking at blank paper. Must be his balanced budget.
