  4. So he snapchats, but doesn’t do email? Yeah…right.

  5. Who needs email when I have snapchat? Now you see it now you don’t!

  8. Have @skrmjm snap me back plz

    Comment by Vote Quimby! Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:37 pm

  9. Lol, you really gotta love this. Exactly what we’d expect. Emails create all sorts of problems, so naturally he’ll use Snapchat, where posts are deleted after a few seconds. Poof! So much for transparency!

  10. HBO - “Dad’s Home State” - Season 2, Episode 22

    Bruce uses snapchat to show boarded up buildings at EIU. Diana calls Rahm to tell him to be more disliked to help Bruce. Diana’s State Employee starts a March Madness bracket pool. Lance takes the Rauner Word Jumble Machine in for maintenance, “ck” is puzzled by new email rerouting tree, Goldberg fills out a postcard for a free dessert at Saputo’s. Comedy, 63 minutes.

  12. The only thing that vanishes faster than his snapchats are his campaign promises.

    Comment by Jocko Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:41 pm

  13. In effort to avoid further FOIA requests, Gov. Rauner is pleased to transfer all administration communications to self-deleting snaps.

    Comment by wolf Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:43 pm

  14. I am willing to compromise with Madigan for as long as this message exists. ::LOLOL!!1! Turnaround 4Eva!::

    Comment by Boooooooo Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:44 pm

  15. Snapchat time with Jason Gonzalez…. poof!

    Comment by Union Leader Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:44 pm

  16. Taking his message to snapchat. Is he also opening up a state related Tinder account?

    Comment by guh Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:44 pm

  17. I am begging — BEGGING — the Illinois Chamber to please push some of its apparently considerable largesse into financing production of “Dad’s Home State”

  18. Hey Superstars,

    I think I have finally figured it out…

  23. Rauner and Squeeze become BFF’s …

    Comment by RNUG Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:57 pm

  24. Wonder whose email address he uses to log in..

    Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 1:57 pm

  25. Can we all agree now that this governor is incapable of accepting the need to find another way, let alone act on that need? He just won’t/can’t do it.

    It’s up to other players to find another way that Bruce can’t stop.

  26. Watch this picture disappear, just like your university!

    Comment by Saluki Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 2:04 pm

  27. shut them down! let them eat cake

    Comment by Ghost Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 2:06 pm

  28. I think Rauner is more interested in seeing how the emoji situation plays out. There are yellow heart near Sandack name but when will Dunkin’s pink hearts disappear??

  29. Madigan should use Snapchat since he claims to not use email, a phone, text or anything that has any record.

    Comment by Sergey Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 2:11 pm

  30. Too bad his governorship doesn’t disappear as quick as Snapchat.

    Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 2:11 pm

  31. Oh, that last post was meant for the “Rauner Responds …”

    For this one:
    “Dear voters, snapchat means never having to say you’re sorry.”

    Comment by X-prof Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 2:12 pm

  32. Mr smithers come here, I need you…..

  34. I don’t know, but I’m not saving any screenshots.

    Comment by AC Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 2:38 pm

  35. Bet their storing the Audit of the Campaign Cash on SnapChat!

    Burn baby, burn!!!

    Wonder if Proft had to return the Lease yet?

  36. Rauner: “Hostages appear and disappear in seconds! I’m lovin’ it!”

  37. “Yay, a high-tech way for me to flout FOIA”

  39. Here are the detailed breakdown on the $3.5 Billion in “Executive Management” in the Budget I presented.

    Here is a list of all the jobs I created here in Illinois when I was a Hedge Fund Wall Street dude.

    Here is a list of my Social Agenda priorities. Brahaha. Just kiddin’,. I don’t got no Social Agenda.

    Rauner just snapchats all his staff. Disappears 30 seconds after being viewed. Perfect for the transparent governor.

    Comment by jerry 101 Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 3:31 pm

  41. Here’s another one of me deleting Dan Proft’s phone number. Lulz

    Comment by Harvest76 Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 4:27 pm

  42. Rauner must be the oldest non-perv Snapchat user in America. That thing’s for the youngsters.

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 4:41 pm

  43. Apparently he’s not aware that you can screen shot what is posted?

    Comment by carbaby Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 4:51 pm

  44. He doesn’t do email, but he can Snapchat?

    Comment by Anon Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 5:04 pm

  45. Kinda makes you wish Snapchat still had the best friends feature

    Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 6:24 pm

  46. Which one of you House Dems is the next one up for hire?

    Comment by blue dog dem Wednesday, Mar 16, 16 @ 7:12 pm

  47. The only time he will be able to get rid of AFSCME. Take a picture post it for ten seconds and it’s gone forever, without the cost of buying legislators. Rauner amazed by this, leaves the public sector and moves to San Francisco to start his own tech company.

    Comment by Almost the Weekend Thursday, Mar 17, 16 @ 8:00 am

  48. Here’s my unredacted schedule. LOL

    Comment by Me too Thursday, Mar 17, 16 @ 8:08 am

  49. In all seriousness, isn’t there some kind of records preservation act, not to mention FOIA, that makes using this for any official communication illegal? Not that we could prove it since everything is deleted, but how is this different than the hole Billary e-mail server thing.
