Caption: State Rep. Ken Dunkin opens new daycare. Rauner’s Kids is the name. Kids receive one ounce of food a day, for prevention of starvation. One of the mother’s said “this is great, my wages were just cut, and now Ken has opened this place so that my kids receive the bare minimum.” The new daycare takes a new approach to injured children as well. Ken Dunkin says, “When a child is injured here, we put the burden of proof on the child, not us. We presume it is their fault”.

Well kids, you elected him. No hurry up, vote him out of office so he can take that plush job with the Rauner administration he was promised. Betraying unions and his constituency doesn’t come cheap, you know. Neither do trips to the U S Open for that matter.
