It’s déjà vu and with uncertainty surrounding the future of school funding in Illinois, Do Your Job, Inc. is debuting a new ad asking legislators to override Governor Rauner.
The ad continues the plea of the education community, reformers, and editorial boards across the state who believe “when you get 90 percent, declare victory.” Much like the state’s budget crisis, it is now up to legislators to do the right thing for the state despite the disastrous decisions made by Governor Rauner. […]
Déjà vu will begin running on digital platforms today.
Do Your Job, Inc. is led by IL Sen. Michael E. Hastings of South Suburban Cook County, IL Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie and Illinois AFL-CIO President Michael T. Carrigan.
It’s déjà vu.
After losing the budget fight, Governor Rauner is targeting our schools.
Principals, teachers and parents statewide support SB1 for fairer funding across the whole state but Rauner has vetoed SB1 creating chaos and another crisis.
Without the funding bill schools will close.
Rauner won’t compromise.
Republicans and Democrats have to fund our schools without him.
Sound familiar?
Tell your legislator override Rauner. Fund our schools.
This “attempt” for this Crew to seem relevant is another glaring example of “Too little, too late”, “Johnny come lately” silliness… that tries to use the Chance slogan… something these “geniuses” couldn’t, fur two plus years, come up for themselves.
I’m embarrassed for them that they even released it.
It should have said. ” After vetoing the budget and having it overridden by a bipartisan majority”
“After the bipartisan override of the governors budget veto”
After the governor’ budget crisis was ended by a bipartisan override. He now is trying to cause a crisis in our schools

Hi. I’ve been avoiding posts re political ads until later. I’m saving my burnout threshold until much later. Sorry.

The line “Rauner won’t compromise” really stood out. Funny that it can be taken both ways.

Sorry, Rich. Dog, boat, beer, you know how it goes some days.

Kind of late for a spot urging override.

“After losing the budget fight”
This phrase turns off people
