Question of the day

Tuesday, Aug 28, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller

* At today’s bill signing to expand the use of our state’s medical marijuana “pilot program” we have Rep. Kelly Cassidy, the mother of marijuana legalization, and Gov. Bruce Rauner, who staunchly opposes legalizing recreational use…

No body language there.

* The Question: Caption?

    Bruce is trying to avoid Kelly’s glare for not wearing green at the signing. In his defense, Bruce thought his hemp belt buckle was sufficient
