Question of the day

Tuesday, Feb 1, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller

* I told subscribers about the possibility of the governor giving his address from the Old State Capitol earlier today. From the governor’s office..

Reporters—

Gov. Pritzker will deliver his annual State of the State and budget address from the Old State Capitol.

Press is invited to attend the speech in person and the speech will be available via livestream across the state on Wednesday, February 2 at 12:00am.

You will be able to watch the address at noon here: www.illinois.gov/livevideo

It will also be streamed on the Governor’s social media channels:

A subscriber just noticed this page on the governor’s state website listing the administration’s accomplishments.

* The Question: What should the governor say during his State of the State/budget address tomorrow? Snark is not necessarily encouraged, but allowed. /s

    ==the speech will be available via livestream across the state on Wednesday, February 2 at 12:00am.==

    “Welcome, insominacs and night owls. Happy you’re able to join us.”

    (I’m sure the time is a typo)

    12 am. “I will open this evening by saying that I have had a few cocktails at The Alamo before coming over here, so let’s dispense with the prepared remarks and work off the cuff. First of all, this year I am proposing the re-criminalization of marijuana and taking the minimum wage back to $7.25 an hour…..

    “If you’re watching this speech or listening remotely, that’s because COVID didn’t kill you. You’re welcome.”

    Explain how a $2,825,325,795.99 backlog is “Nearly eliminated the state’s multi-billion-dollar bill backlog”

    The page has been active for months. The previous PDF version of the accomplishments ran through June 2021.

    Y’know, it’s never made any sense to me that we say “12:00 p.m.” when we mean “noon”.


  7. - Rich Miller - Tuesday, Feb 1, 22 @ 2:40 pm:

    ===Explain how a $2,825,325,795.99 backlog===

    It’s not a backlog. Payment cycle is 21 days or so right now. Get a grip.


  8. - Pundent - Tuesday, Feb 1, 22 @ 2:46 pm:

    =It’s not a backlog. Payment cycle is 21 days or so right now.=

    Ironic that the outrage comes from those that say we should “run government like a business.” And in business 60-90 day payment cycles are not unusual.

    ==Y’know, it’s never made any sense to me that we say “12:00 p.m.” when we mean “noon”.==

    And then around noon or 12PM, we can’t agree on whether to call Lunch “Lunch” or “Dinner.” And six hours later do we call it “Dinner” or “Supper.”

    “Illinois is an improved financial state! One more serious pandemic and I think we can solve our budget woes by shifting the financial albatross from Illinois residents paying state taxes, to Illinois residents paying federal taxes.”

    Saw my shadow today, see you next groundhog day

    If he reading his speech from a written text, I hope he remembers his phonics lessons.

    ” I want to thank Buck, Spitz, Dave, Dolly, Pike, Dub, Billie, Joe, Sol-leks, Teek, and Koona for mushing me from the Governor’s Mansion to the Old State Capitol.”

    “Use of unnecessary snark in commenting on the Governor’s address…..has been approved”.
    “Good Afternoon my fellow Illinoisans. As Honorary Chairman of the Welcoming Committee, it is my great honor to present this Laurel, and Hardy handshake to Darren Bailey.”
