But… here in my left back pocket are the Re-Forms to my Shakin’ and Turnin’. Without these, well, Illinois is just a wasteland.

Wouldn’t an airport and new expressway technically drive more business/manufacturing growth?

Thanks for killing off the Iliana expressway and the third airport.

…but I won’t start talking positively about the state until I get my TA.

I grew up in a southern suburb and I just don’t except people down there to do rainbows.
Just sayin.

But…
…what about the REST of the State of IL that you supposedly the governor of?
He really just can’t figure his job out after nearly 2 years, can he?

But…. due to Madigan and the companies he controls…

…but instead of actual economic growth, I’m hosting you this here telethon!

…but, wait, you mean south of I-80 is Illinois too?
Comment by Skeptic Wednesday, Oct 5, 16 @ 2:22 pm
But I -80 is a traffic nightmare and I won’t support anything being built to help move Illinois ahead unless I break all unions first. Even if that means destroying social services and Universitys and what ever else is in my way. Because I am “winning” just ask my own pollsters and other republicans I (own) fund.

My mood ring says I’m energetic and satisfied, and will be for six more years. Take that MJM.

Meh, he ’s gotten very good at staying on script.

But…
Looks a lot like blue jeans. If so, a sleazy, disrespectful look for the CEO of a State. But would be typical.

Regrets, I’ve had very few
But some collectivist may try to mention
We set the Turnaround Agenda, not cut apart your pension
I planned each show and tell, every stop along the highway
But this, all of this, I did it My Way.

But you’re goin’ to have to trust me on my TA agenda…right here in my back pocket!

…Illiana wants me, lord I can’t go back there!
Comment by Six Degrees of Separation Wednesday, Oct 5, 16 @ 4:08 pm
I’m generally not a Rauner fan, but seriously is it so hard to give the Gov credit when he’s doing something good?
He’s out there busking for Illinois, and all these comments are policy attacks, without ever acknowledging this effort to bring business and jobs to Illinois. Yeah, I know he’s flip-flopped on stuff like this before, but positive reinforcement is a winning strategy as ancient as the domestication of the wolf. Maybe give it a shot.
Comment by anon123 Wednesday, Oct 5, 16 @ 4:09 pm
OK, anon123.
Governor, I positively think you’re the worst governor I’ve ever seen.
Comment by Whatever Wednesday, Oct 5, 16 @ 4:18 pm
Certainly no problem with space.
Comment by A guy Wednesday, Oct 5, 16 @ 4:25 pm
During what was clearly the most awkward moment of his appearance, Gov. Rauner forgets the lyrics to ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ while simultaneously scratching his behind nervously.
Comment by Cubs in '16 Wednesday, Oct 5, 16 @ 4:52 pm
Rauner remains a complete and utter disappointment. But then perhaps he’s gradually learning that bashing your own state’s economy is…. bad for your state’s economy??

You can keep the turnaround agenda or trade it for what’s behind the curtain
