What a fantastic change from the last governor, who caused so much needless damage in his war against Madigan and unions.

Complete reversal of Rauner’s brilliant strategy which was to ignore the bills when they came due. I know what would happen if I did that.
Congratulations and gratitude to Governor Pritzker, Leaders Cullerton, Brady, Madigan, Durkin, and all of the legislators who took votes potentially unpopular with at least some of their constituents.
I will continue to applaud any of our elected officials who will put their names to either specific revenues or specific cuts whether I agree with them or not. I continue to believe that a stable, balanced budget is the single best thing we can do for Illinois’ business climate, and this is a step in that direction.
During the last administration I often wished that House Republicans would use their extraordinary leverage to get some their priorities passed. Though it would seem they now have less leverage than they did, they achieved a good measure of success. Illinois will be the better for it if they can continue to balance opposition with bipartisanship.
Just another day at the office, doing the job he was elected to do.
What a strange concept.

So the veto session will address more issues maybe Medicaid but in. As I said before Repubs should ask for more workman comp tinkering. Could Pritzger accomplish all of the reasonable parts of Rauners agenda.?
Anyone miss Blago or Quinn either?
Just asking.
And then the Gov. will don his bling leather jacket, hop aboard his Harley, and ride around the state blaming everyone else for his inability to accomplish anything.

Governor Pritzker adds the signature.
Governing. So great to see.

And as a surprise ending he will announce the cash sale of the Thompson Center. A governor that gets things done

Respectfully disagree they had more leverage under Rauner. I’d argue they had no leverage. He demanded total capitulation—or else.

Somewhere right now CK and the rest of the Best Team ever put together to run a state are thinking of purging their resumes of the last few years.

Former Chicago Alderman Danny Solis will not be able to be at the signing , he’ll be working on some other things today.

that is maybe the craziest thing about this governor. Highlights Rauner’s incompetence

Oh wait, that was the other guy.
