Madigan’s daily press briefing: He’d meet with Rauner and he’s peeved at Durkin
Friday, Jun 23, 2017 - Posted by Rich Miller * Rep. Greg Harris talks for about the first four minutes, then Speaker Madigan takes questions. Many thanks again to Greg Bishop for the video… Madigan expressed his disappointment that this morning’s scheduled meeting with the other three legislative leaders was canceled and said he would still try to make it happen. He said he would meet with the governor if asked. * Madigan also seemed peeved at Leader Durkin for not showing up to the meeting…
* Madigan was then asked if, when he meets with Leader Durkin, is he meeting with Durkin or is he meeting with Durkin on behalf of the governor. Madigan laughed and said..

Jim is turning into the Tina Turner of the House GOP…with Bruce playing the role of Ike.

Since the Republican leadership will not negotiate in good faith with Madigan and the others, Cullerton is right. Rauner’s special session is a stunt.

Was that unity thing only aimed at his own party

Cry me a river, Speaker. How many meetings over the years have you left early because of a prior engagement that you couldn’t possibly reschedule? I can think of three with Blago and Quinn without even trying.

Round three $144,000 later, mike wins by default, a no show from the GOP after he sent them to get their revenue bill

A team of psychologists is needed stat. Meet at the Speaker’s office, please.

When the govenors leadership is abstinence, his leaders think being absent is leadership not cowards

The leaders meeting was obviously scheduled. What or who could have caused both Republicans to cancel. Seems obvious.

Meh. Rauner needs to show a Republican revenue bill to pay for the Republican budget. Until that happens, taking Raunerites “serious” is a mockable pastime, and saying “Madigan!” Is simple-minded foolishness.

Well, they either got lost in the govenors shadow, or their hiding in it
