Yes.. If I write you a check for $5,001.00 will you then vote the way I want you to vote?

Unoriginal commenters.

Comment by 47th Ward Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 2:45 pm
That there isn’t a “compliments” booth so I can save a lot of time using that instead of filling out endless complaints.

The Little Red-Haired Girl didn’t send me a Christmas card.

Oops, sorry wrong booth.

How quaint. He found a place in the shade.

That State Rep’s in Illinois have full-time employment to do meaningless PR stunts like this. Make them part-time/volunteer so they can go get real jobs like everyone else. /s

I suppose he thinks that’s funny

Darn gubmint doesn’t let me sell cars on Sundays

Too difficult to get on the ballot as a third party candidate

And….i gotta pay a registration fee for my canoe, which was manufactured in 1975 and i bought it at a garage sale. Then i gotta buy a sticker for darn near every public lake/body of water i want to paddle on. My kayak too…

You misunderstand. I’m here to GIVE complaints, not receive them.

The Deadbeat Gang: Purposely don’t pay the state’s bills, encourage bankruptcy by other governments.

And some of the people, all of the time, believe them when they say it’s good for the “business environment.”

Nowhere to use a restroom on long family road trips anymore.

Well, I had a big complaint ready, but the jury found Led Zeppelin not guilty of stealing “Stairway to Heaven”.

Comment by Wensicia Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 3:21 pm
Heh, he spelled Compliant wrong. And the HGOPs are nothing if not compliant.

Comment by 47th Ward Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 3:25 pm
Well, that’s your problem. He thinks he’s in the compliant department and not in the problems resolution department.

Number 1 Compliant: Governor hasn’t introduced a budget.

Still waiting for the Guv to do something about CMS …

I’m sorry, but this is Abuse. Complaints are down the Mississippi and to the left.

Comment by Skeptics Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 3:46 pm
I wish the state was taller.

Comment by OurMagician Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 3:49 pm
I think we missed the fine print:

All complaints will be amended to add “…because Madigan.”

Comment by Chicago_Downstater Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 3:51 pm
My complaint: no republican reps or senators who care enough about the people of our state to sign a (banned word) petition to rid us of the governor.

Comment by Groundhog Day Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 3:59 pm
So I let him know, ‘My wife’s a pain in the butt. She’s always busting my freakin’ agates. My daughter’s married to a real loser. And I got a rash so bad on my arse, I can’t even sit down. But you know me. I can’t complain.’” (The Dude Abides should appreciate)

Kinda like the old Maytag repairman - loneliest man around because no one ever needs him.

Comment by Whatever Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:15 pm
Do you have any more “bat signal” yard signs?

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:27 pm
As a big antique car fan, that they cancelled the SoS show in the fall in Springfield.

Comment by RNUG Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:31 pm
Is the Governor available for parties? Picnics? Also, can he do balloon animals or magic?

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:34 pm
My beef is the governor just doesn’t care how much he hurts people. Governor, you are shamming the people of IL - you are NOT helping anyone.

Comment by Mama Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:35 pm
Is Batnick short for Batnicholas?

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:36 pm
Are there any good road stops in Kendall County that aren’t closed?

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:38 pm
They keep moving my desk, I haven’t received my paycheck and Mr. Lumburg took my red swingline stapler…

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:43 pm
My complaint: failing to compromise on a deal for WC reform and a property tax freeze last year.

Had that been done, we would have had a budget then.

Comment by Formerly Known As... Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 4:57 pm
The “Department” is clearly understaffed!

Comment by BumblesBounce Thursday, Jun 23, 16 @ 5:19 pm
The new asphalt 5-lane highway near my house smells funny. Can you have them replace it with concrete?
