A little Friday snarkiness
Friday, Jun 8, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * As I told you earlier today, Gov. Rauner was in DC today for a ceremony to officially announce a “major rail infrastructure grant for the 75th Street Corridor Improvement Project.” From the governor’s remarks…
Make no mistake, this is a hugely important project. Everyone involved should be congratulated. But didja notice he said the word “Trump”? He doesn’t do that too often. * The Pritzker campaign had a little fun with it on National Best Friends Day… ...Adding… Right back at him…

Save the date: Illinois vs. Missouri legislative softball game is June 14th
Friday, Jun 8, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * Yours truly will be announcing the game at Busch Stadium when the Illinois side bats…
* The Illinois roster…  The Missouri roster, if you care, is here. * They’ll be playing with a 12-inch softball instead of the Chicago-style 16-inch, so the other side of the river will definitely have an advantage. Some of the Illinois players will have to buy gloves for the first time. The idea is to hold another game next year in Chicago with a 16-inch ball, but we’ll see if that actually happens. * And I was just told that we “can’t say anything inappropriate” over the stadium’s PA system, so I guess quoting the late, great Sen. Adeline Geo-Karis’ infamous admonition to players is out of the question. …Adding… I’m told Rep. Ryan Spain is playing as well, and maybe a few others who are not yet confirmed. And Rep. Avery Bourne is definitely not a Senator.

Mixed messages
Friday, Jun 8, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * This is an odd tweet for a couple of reasons…
First, as we discussed a few days ago, I can’t see how an online petition will do much of anything besides gather names for a campaign database. It’s a phony “issue” because the FBI surveillance tapes were sealed by a federal judge, who is now retired. And, anyway, who are they gonna submit their “petition” to? I’m thinking nobody. But, hey, maybe people will talk about it. They did the same thing during the primary, by the way. This is yet another Blagojevich-related primary tactic reboot by Team Rauner. Second, what’s with the mixed messages? They’re combining the Rod tapes with “no balanced budget = no pay for legislators” thing? This has to be a clerical error because the governor just signed a budget that wasn’t technically balanced. …Adding… They took down the tweet. Must’ve been the mistake I pointed out. I saved it, though…
