Rauner again blasts legislative pay raises
Wednesday, Jul 15, 2015 - Posted by Rich Miller
* From Lance Trover…
“Speaker Madigan and the legislators he controls will leave town without a responsible, balanced budget and without any reforms while taking a pay raise for themselves. That’s unfair to taxpayers and the people they represent. It is time to stop protecting the political class at the expense of the middle class.
“Everyone knows the status quo is broken and Illinois needs to change. Governor Rauner is committed to enacting a true balanced budget and real reforms to grow the economy and free up resources to protect the most vulnerable. The legislature should join the governor in committing to move the state forward.”
…Adding… He did get a bit snippy…
