Governor Ruaner recreates the contract negotiations as a puppet show for the Labor Relations Board.
Comment by My button is broke... Friday, Jan 15, 16 @ 3:33 pm
Labor Board please let me know if my administration and AFSCME have reached an impasse in our negotiations. I took a couple of stabs at it but I couldn’t figure it out.

See, I’m here and they are there and they should be over here. I’m willing to compromise if they come over here.

Rauner: “Compromise? Of course I can compromise! Compromise and Bruce Rauner are this tight!”
Reporter: “Um, sir, your fingers aren’t linked, they’re far apart.”

I’m a member of the 1%, how about you?
Comment by No Longer A Lurker Friday, Jan 15, 16 @ 3:48 pm
You see up there? Those are the salaries of state workers. That is simply not sustainable for the taxpayers. They are wildly out of touch!
Comment by Cubs in '16 Friday, Jan 15, 16 @ 3:48 pm
I didn’t cause this impasse. Mike Madigan and the politicians he controls.

===Framing a shot for dad’s home state===
You aren’t too far off, - Rabid -, the Governor so wants to direct an episode. Of course, Rauner isn’t a member of the DGA, so…
To riff off that…
“Governor, we’re the shop stewards, you aren’t allowed to direct the camera, sir, union rules… “

Sometimes my Administration’s statements are hard to follow? That’s because my right hand doesn’t know what my far right hand is doing.

So, all along, I should have been doing this to provide “air quotes” when I was saying what I didn’t really mean?
