* Press release…
Governor Bruce Rauner today submitted his statutorily-required Statement of Economic Interests as well as a Supplemental Statement of Economic Interests required by the governor’s Executive Order 15-09.
When filling out his Statements of Economic Interests, the governor used a broad definition of “doing business in Illinois” to determine what to include. For example, the governor lists “Pittsburgh Steelers Sports, Inc.” even though he owns a minority stake in the organization and the Steelers did not play a game in Illinois during the calendar year.

I like the printing of Bruce’s name and title…?
To the Post,
The fact that those 11 pages make up a portfolio that generated $140 million plus in one year… Wow.
I need to research, how are his stakes in owning the Red Sox, Bulls, and Steelers listed. I’ll look it up, I just am always intrigued how pro sport ownership is routed.

Does he have stock in Giggle or Google?
(If it’s Giggle, is that why he wears the funny costumes?)
- JS Mill - Friday, Apr 28, 17 @ 3:49 pm:
Looks just like the one I fill out.
Except for all of the attachments.

giggle, Inc. operates as a multichannel retailer of baby care products.

Does Rauner’s stake in CBOE Holdings mean they can’t come around again to extort a tax break, like they did with CME during the Great Recession?
Cross off one corporate handout, if so.

Lot’s of Chicago based venture capital type investments, the Gov keeps it local
- Henry Francis - Friday, Apr 28, 17 @ 3:58 pm:
For a good juxtaposition, put the list social service agencies that have closed during his term next to the list of his holdings in which he realized a capital gain in excess of $5k.

A lot more pages than mine would be if I were Gov, that’s for sure

Didn’t see any claimed ownership of the “Republican Party of Illinois.” Some commentators here will be extremely disappointed./snark

If I had to fill out one of these, it would be quite lengthy until I realized they were asking about STOCKS, not SOCKS. Good gravy, no wonder he’s out of touch with the common working stiff. By the way, I’ll bet he was itching to list his $18 watch, plaid shirt, and Carhartt jacket.

–Didn’t see any claimed ownership of the “Republican Party of Illinois–
The state party, GOP officeholders and payrollers are claimed as dependents on his 1040.

Well played, sir. Genius.
Yep, still can’t see the Red Sox piece…

I dont care about what this liberal Madigan inspired propaganda says. Bruce is a good old boy like me. He wears flannel and likes pie and lives in Springfield and listens to country music and goes to the fair. if the wasn’t or for good honest people like him this state would have backlog of unpaid bills mile high. No snark here

I guess the many jobs that are created due to his investments will be off limits here

Oh he wears all that Carhartt because he owns Carhartt. Makes sense now. Yeah he’s totally normal. Dude …

Pittsburg Steelers?! Did Bruce have a hand in the Bears’ draft activity yesterday?
Because…Pace.

I guess they were off limits to Bruce too, since Rauner, when asked, couldn’t name any jobs he created in a debate.
If you find those jobs Rauner created, let Brube know, enlighten him.

Jumping Feline made a meowing killing in the haberdashery sector in Q4 thanks to sales driven by nasty women. This guy knows how to read a market.

Do you have a link? Not seeing on DCEO page.
By the way, you should check out the DCEO home page. According to them, the Illinois economy is kickin’ some serious tukkus!
They’re definitely in that group that thinks the state is goin’ in the right direction.

Peak6 was also a generous contributor to political action committees in Illinois, including Citizens for Rauner. Funny, he owns them, they give to him, DCEO takes note.

Rauner’s portfolio has a number of Venture capital and startup’s…from Forbes…”the Kauffman Foundation and the Institute for Competitiveness & Prosperity to figure out where new jobs actually do come from. The surprising truth is that over the last twenty five years, almost all of the private sector jobs have been created by businesses less than five years old.”
- City Zen - Friday, Apr 28, 17 @ 4:36 pm:
Peak6 is also a big fan of Rahm.

… and yet, Rauner himself, couldn’t name one job HE created, and the layoffs and “gift cards” had no refute when they were brought up.
Good try, thou.
