Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

* From a reader…

Hi Rich,

Wanted to give some props to the Governor and Rep. Tim Butler for addressing the Curb Your Car Crowd at the Governor’s mansion. The Governor didn’t ride, but said he would if we could find him a seat that didn’t hurt his tookus. (My word, not his)

I think the Viking hat really sets off the moment.

Thanks for being you and doing what you do!
