* The Question: Caption?
*** UPDATE *** From IUOE Local 150…
Good afternoon Rich,
On your caption photo today, if you look on the governor’s left side, next to the “sheriff’s badge” pin, you can see that he is wearing a Local 150 pin.
Hilarious.

Just thinking, someone had to actually go and get that governor patch made, I’m sure they don’t stock them at the bike shops.
“yes, one patch that says Governor”
“Governor? That’s a weird nickname”
“No, no nickname, it’s for the Governor”
“Yeah ok whatever…”
“No seriously, the Governor of Illinois wants it”
“Illinois? Is the patch a prison thing?”
“No, not yet, we hope not”

“Now keep that card to remember- no helmet!”
(Though ABATE as known primarily as the fierce lobbying group that has helped Illinois maintain its helmet-optional status for motorcyclists, Rauner is a helmet-wearing member. - from an ABC7 interview in 2014. Also, do a Google Image search of ‘rauner no helmet’. He seems to have “turned around” on the helmet thing. And scroll down a bit to see a remarkable likeness between the Guv and a certain Simpsons character from another Springfield.)

No I didn’t get each of these badges out of a cereal box. I bought them. A medal for each company I drove into bankruptcy. Wait a few years and you’ll really see some medals on this jacket. I’m going to add one for each municipality and school district I drive into bankruptcy during my administration.
