* Press release…
Today, the JB for Governor campaign released new calls holding Bruce Rauner accountable for the damage he’s done to the people of Illinois through his 736-day manufactured budget crisis. Legislators overrode his desperate and reckless veto, but the suffering of Illinois families can’t be erased.
The robo calls will target state House and Senate districts across the state.
* The robocall…
* Script…
After 736 days, a bipartisan compromise budget passed into law in Illinois.
But Bruce Rauner’s damage is done.
For over two years, Rauner held Illinois hostage to force a special interest agenda on our state.
During that time, unpaid bills skyrocketed to over $14 billion.
Local governments across the state were forced to raise taxes.
Social services agencies closed their doors.
And students fled to go to colleges in other states.
Illinois families suffered and continue to suffer because of the crisis Bruce Rauner created.
The suffering of Illinois families can’t be erased.
Bruce Rauner has accomplished nothing. He leaves behind only devastation.
It’s time Bruce Rauner was held accountable for the damage he’s inflicted on the people of Illinois.
* Here are the targeted districts. All the House districts are Democrats, all the Senate districts are Republicans..
The statewide robo calls will target the following state House and Senate districts: HD-98 [Manley], HD-96 [Scherer], HD-85 [Connor], HD-72 [Halpin], HD-62 [Yingling], HD-59 [Sente], HD-56 [Mussman], HD-55 [Moylan], HD-46 [Conroy], HD-118 [Phelps], HD-116 [Costello], HD-112 [Stuart], HD-111 [Beiser], SD-21 [Connelly], SD-24 [Nybo], SD-27 [Rooney], SD-36 [Anderson] and SD-41 [Vacant (Radogno)].

That script might leave anyone who listened to it under the impression that Rauner was a part of the compromise.

Gotta start early that…
1) Rauner owns the destruction.
2) Rauner has yet to sign a budget.
3) Rauner has no successes, that can be linked to the veto budget, until May-ish, 2018, when, again, Rauner can try for his first full fiscal year budget signature.
This is it. These are Rauner’s failings, and Rauner failed again.
“Rate it?”
Solid “B”, laying a groundwork. Needs to be part of a base coat that continues these types of messages.
Nothing “game changing” in the message, but having a message does change the balance of the game.
“Solid B”

Not bad, not bad at all.

==having a message does change the balance of the game==
This has long been my thought, and I think I voiced it a few times when people snickered at Rauner’s commercials: putting a message out there is probably more important than making sure the message is as tight and crisp as could be.

I think Rauner’s in a stronger position for 2018 than he was before thd override because it makes his message much simpler (fight the Madigan tax hike no term limit no property tax relief machine) and the case against him more complex (going from stop the carnage now to Rauner’s responsible for all that carnage that happened a year and a half ago from November 2018).
Plus Rauner does not have to explain away signing a tax hike.
Rauner gets to campaign in bullet points now while his opponent may have to campaign in paragraphs.

He is not running against Rauner, they are all running against Madigan. If you don’t have some plan to deal with Madigan, you will own a 7% income tax, the highest property taxes in the nation, and the worst economy.
With no Madigan plan, you will fail like the 4 guys before you and the best you can hope for is not going to prison and that is a 50/50 proposition.

=special interest agenda=
So home owners? Versus government union members?

Except he already lost to that agenda.
==and the case against him more complex (going from stop the carnage now to Rauner’s responsible for all that carnage that happened a year and a half ago from November 2018)==
You really think the carnage is over?

Democrats called the 4 year property tax freeze. Didn’t get one Republican vote.
