Question of the day

Posted in:

* Sun-Times

For his part, Rauner said the pair had agreed to talk more with [Chance the Rapper] over the weekend on a school funding solution that the two could present to the legislature when it reconvenes Tuesday.

* Twitters…


Chicago Public Schools and I did not lose today. Please don't let that become the narrative. Monday morning I'll have a plan.

— Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) March 3, 2017

* The Question: After they solve the city’s school funding problem by Monday, what’s the next issue they should tackle?

…Adding…. Maybe he could negotiate a truce between Rauner and the comptroller?…


Hey, @chancetherapper, my office is also in the Thompson Center. I'm happy to help you with your plan. #twill https://t.co/PSVonXce14

  2. The budget. It would give a whole new meaning to Chance’s “we don’t do the same drugs anymore”…

  3. Kinda makes you want to call in the GA on Sunday just in case he finishes early.

  4. After two years of negotiating in bad faith with Madigan and Cullerton, and completely ignoring his Republican legislative leaders, Rauner is going to work with Chance the Rapper to finally put forth a plan to save CPS.

    Imagine what might get accomplished if Beyoncé met with Rauner.

  9. Getting people to read the articles before they comment!

    Comment by Precinct Captain Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 2:17 pm

  10. IF Rauner and Chance The Rapper come up with solutions for what is ailing Illinois, we better start a GoFundMe page for intensive psychotherapy for the exhausted, exasperated and deflated senate president and Republican leader.

    Comment by Stumpy's bunker Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 2:19 pm

  11. If they both could come up with a multi-use facility that could host NCAA Final Fours, Super Bowls, and then be converted back to a land based casino and entertainment complex… without state money…

    … that might take 4 days, but I’m patient.

  12. How does Madigandoza think she can help with CPS? She can’t figure out how to write checks except for her new car

    Comment by anonymous retiree Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 2:20 pm

  13. Cancer, but I’ll give them two weeks because it’s a little more difficult than a budget.

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 2:25 pm

  14. After solving solve Chicago’s school funding problem, cold fusion should be a snap.

  18. The price of concert tickets.

    Comment by Peters Post Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:05 pm

  19. Higher Education and funding all the state universities.

    That should be an 18 hour job…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:15 pm

  20. @Willy - I would be willing to give them 24 to even 48 hours to resolve that dilemma.

    Comment by illini Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:19 pm

  21. - illini -

    Anything within a weekend timeframe is now acceptable.

    I’ll send Cannoli.

  22. He needs to get Dad’s Home State produced and available on HBO or Netflix.

    Comment by AC Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:22 pm

  23. ===He needs to get Dad’s Home State produced and available on HBO or Netflix.===

    You have to REALLY look for it on HBO, like really look.

    If DHS tries for a 5th season, I wouldn’t be surprised if we pitch Netflix…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:26 pm

  24. Maybe next weekend he can help Elon Musk perfect cars than can self drive to the moon!

    Comment by AC Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:26 pm

  25. Is Susana Mendoza positioning herself to be the next Judy Baar Topinka as in the “crazy Aunt Judy” role?

    Comment by W Flag Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:28 pm

  26. When we all pitched “Dad’s Home State” to Netflix, it had a working title of “Stranger Things”…

    It was only last year did we realize why they passed.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:32 pm

  27. Maybe Chance can help mediate the AFSCME contract now the court has put a halt on Rauner’s contract.

    Comment by Norseman Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:35 pm

  28. Put Chance and BVR on how to take care of Illinois’s seniors without the state actually paying for that to happen. We lost another adult day center this month, the 13th, I believe, since the impasse began. Clearly, there will be no budget, so we need some good advice.

    Comment by CCP Hostage Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:44 pm

  29. Maybe Chance and Rauner can negotiate the annexation of the Upper Peninsula or “U.P.” to return it to its rightful owners, Wisconsin..

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Mar 3, 17 @ 3:50 pm

  30. While Rauner and Chance are working on a school funding solution this weekend, maybe they can come up with a budget to introduce to the legislature next week. The Gov can present it with a rap:

    My name is Bruce Rauner and I’m here to say
    This mess ain’t my fault, no how, no way…
