Met today with Illinois governor Bruce Rauner The “Janus” SCOTUS Case was at the start —AFSCME vs Rauner. Rauner will soon have changed the world for the better more than most governors in US history ever have pic.twitter.com/1VTQRSUjKa
I guess it is comforting top know that our Governor does own and will wear a tie when trying to impress the “movers and shakers”. Guessing those of us downstate will have to endure his costumes.

Rauner embraces the author of the Norquist pledge. (Authored the Grover Norquist, “The Taxpayer Protection pledge” commits legislators who sign it to never raise taxes in any form.)

Well Norquist is pretty consistent in that when ever he says something is good, it ends up being bad, at least for most people.
- Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Jun 26, 18 @ 1:31 pm:
Bruce wanted to wear one of his costumes but he can’t fool Norquist, Grover knows exactly who Bruce is.

A bit forced I know, but I don’t thinks its that terrible… Ok, I’ll leave.

By letting people get workplace representation for free? “Conservatives” talk a good accountability game but in reality they want free stuff.
