*** UPDATED x1 *** Rauner puts password on his school funding site, but it’s cached online

Posted in:

* Hmm…


.@GovRauner's office has submitted request to IL State Board of Ed to score AV language. Interesting to see if their numbers match his.

.@GovRauner's team has apparently taken down the site link to their ed funding spreadsheet as they wait for ISBE final score to publish. https://t.co/4t44GdCfmP

Rauner site which shows how much $$ each school district would get under his veto now requires username/password: https://t.co/uHkbemynXd

— Tina Sfondeles (@TinaSfon) August 1, 2017


Except, see, there’s this thing called Google Cache that the governor’s office may not have been counting on. Click here to see what they’re trying to protect with a password.

The Internet never forgets, campers.

* But the question now becomes, why the heck is he trying to hide his numbers?

*** UPDATE *** Making this decision to password protect the page even stranger, the governor actually pointed reporters to his website today…

QUESTION: How much money that was going to Chicago under SB1 is now going to districts throughout the state?

RAUNER: Well that’s listed out on the website, our team can get you all the detail, we can total it up.

  1. “Governor Rauner is so embarrassed by his own education plan, he is hiding it from the public.”

    Best Team in America.

  4. Password is B@ilout!

  5. Because it is now clear that Rauner is seeing black helicopters circling around in his head.

  6. Who knew Madigan secretly controls Google

    Comment by Hamlet's Ghost Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:05 pm

  7. …note for the Superstars circa summer 2017. Typically on balance sheets, in addition to a parentheses to indicate a deficit, it is also customary to show the number in red, rather than green. Granted it makes it slightly harder to hide that you are halving the amount of money going to CPS.

    Comment by Graduated College Student Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:06 pm

  8. These numbers look good be interesting to see how the scoring goes.
    Will there be an opportunity for a outsider to score it as well.

    Comment by DuPage Bard Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:07 pm

  9. DGA needs to get a website section up with a column heading of School Funds after Rauner’s Funding Veto $0.00

    Comment by PublicServant Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:09 pm

  10. ===The Internet never forgets, campers.===

    Can’t beat the Internet. It’s undefeated.

    I ‘nember Candidate Rauner saying he’d be the most transparent governor and governor’s office ever.

    Then again, ole Bruce was wearin’ a costume, droppin’ Gs, and told us his wife was a Democrat.

    So much fun, those days…

  11. D’oh! Again.

    Comment by Deft Wing Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:10 pm

  12. Because messagin’, that’s why

    Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:11 pm

  13. I suppose that if our Governor did not know that a 3/5 vote was required on his veto this morning he would have no reason to believe that the internet is forever and nothing is ever lost.

    That should be a “fact” that the best team in America should have known.

    Should be interesting to see how his “magic” numbers compare to the real numbers.

    Comment by illini Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:11 pm

  14. I typed in “Joshua” but instead of the formula… it appears I’m playing some simulation where I’m playing against WOPR who resides in Colorado…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:12 pm

  15. He is hiding the numbers because people like him do not like to be proven wrong.
    I had a boss like him once. Defending yourself with proof was totally unacceptable to this yutz who thought he was omnipotent.

    Comment by Teddy Salad Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:13 pm

  16. The Governor and Speaker’s technological savvy leaves much to be desired. Hey! Something they have in common!

    Comment by OurMagician Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:14 pm

  17. Try “password1″… but in reverse.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:15 pm

  18. I also like how they leave Chicago’s negative $145mil in green to try and blend in.

    Comment by OurMagician Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:15 pm

  19. Folks, accuracy has never been an IPI strong point. Why do you think these whiz kids are gonna change now?

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:16 pm

  20. Superstars at work.

    Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:25 pm

  21. I checked the cached webpage: one interesting thing to note is that if you subtract the value under the “Additional $ Under Our Plan” from the “Our Plan” Column, you get the value listed under the SB1 column.
    I tried some random rows and they all match.

    Comment by Tomacci Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:26 pm

  22. Today doesn’t give me a lot of confidence in the Governor’s staff. Don’t know how many votes it takes for a veto. Now this Three Stooges show with regard to this spreadsheet. Not a good day.

    Comment by Demoralized Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:27 pm

  23. They tout how much “their plan” helps kids and yet there’s a huge negative number for the City of Chicago that sticks right out there. Sorry City kids. No soup for you. You don’t count.

    Comment by Demoralized Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:30 pm

  24. ==why the heck is he trying to hide his numbers?==

    Just a guess: Because he lacks confidence in his own numbers.

    And he realizes that, today, reporters already have discovered he didn’t understand his own veto process. Why take a chance at another flub?

    Comment by Linus Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:34 pm

  25. Wow, looking at the DuPage figures the new money doesn’t come anywhere close to being something that would offset lost revenues from a cost-shift or property tax freezes

    Comment by Morty Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:36 pm

  26. -why the heck is he trying to hide his numbers?-

    Did you ever do your homework so poorly, you were ashamed to turn it in?

    Comment by WhoKnew Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:36 pm

  27. DOIT to the rescue??? /S

    Comment by Anon221 Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:37 pm

  28. Norrine Hammond shared it on her Facebook page

    Comment by Former Merit Comp Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:43 pm

  29. You can also download the data to an Excel spreadsheet. Maybe Rich could put it in a Google Doc to share?

    Comment by Anon E. Moose Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:46 pm

  30. OW,
    Don’t leave us hangin’. Did you beat WOPR?

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:47 pm

  31. ===Did you beat WOPR?===

    We’re still playing, but there’s quite a bit of black helicopter traffic over Oswego right now, for whatever that’s worth.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:50 pm

  32. Got no problem with making it a little tricky to get the previous data for the politically less connected. He wants to focus attention on the newer numbers when they come out.

    Comment by walker Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:51 pm

  33. - Tomacci - Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:26 pm: =

    Tomacci, you should know better than to use real math on their numbers. State math is not the same as real math.

    Comment by Mama Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:54 pm

  34. Pretty sure the password doesn’t have a “g” in it unless he was saving his dropped “g”s for making a password.

    Comment by FormerParatrooper Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 3:59 pm

  35. His spreadsheet would not have the adjusted EAV numbers for the TIF/PTELL part of the AV. ISBE would have to input new EAV numbers. The workbook they come from was not posted.

    Comment by C Ball Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:04 pm

  36. Anyone notice the * for Chicago at the bottom of the Gov’s page?

    The SB 1 number accounts for CPS’ tier funding and FY18 new pension pick-up, and the Governor’s plan number accounts for CPS’ tier funding, >>>>>FY18 new pension pick-up

    Comment by Papa Mikey Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:11 pm

  37. OW, in light of the VETO today, and the Gov’s misstep with knowing how many votes needed for override….has Dad’s Home State officially become a tragic comedy?

    Comment by How Ironic Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:11 pm

  38. Maybe the Best Team Ever plans to attach the password to a campaign donation.

    Comment by Wensicia Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:12 pm

  39. ===…in light of the VETO today, and the Gov’s misstep with knowing how many votes needed for override….has Dad’s Home State officially become a tragic comedy?===

    I think a reboot of the franchise will answer some questions.

    Stay tuned.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:13 pm

  40. They didn’t password protect it…

    As someone who actually know how Illinois websites work, what happened is they changed the status of the page from “Published” to “Draft.” It requests a password because it’s attempting to take you to the Quality Assurance (internal) side of the page.

    Also, for me at least, it seems to be back up.

    Comment by Political Animal Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:17 pm

  41. BTIA going to bunker until they can get their think tanks wrapped around who’s actually supposed to be responsible and accountable for doing some real work.

    To date, no one’s volunteered, obviously.

    Comment by wordslinger Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:24 pm

  42. ==They didn’t password protect it…==

    ==It requests a password ==

    So it’s not password protected, but to access where it is you need a password. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:25 pm

  43. wordslinger, I think the usual Raunerite defenders on this site must be in that bunker with the BTIA.

    Comment by don the legend Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:36 pm

  44. ==So it’s not password protected, but to access where it is you need a password. Thanks for clearing that up.==

    Saying they “password protected it” implies they choose a password and locked the page behind it. That’s not what they did. Anyone who is logged in with Admin access to the back end of that .GOV page doesn’t need enter a password. Its simply asking for your login credentials.

    If anything it shows that the new comms staff over there doesn’t know how the websites work. They were trying to take it down but did it incorrectly.

    Comment by Political Animal Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:37 pm

  45. It’s not the new Comm staff — it’s DoIT that locked down the .asp page. It runs on a Sharepoint server. Don’t get me started on what a waste and expense Sharepoint servers are.

    99% of Illinois state web infrastructure could run on free, open source but DoIT refuses.

    Comment by Anon Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 4:52 pm

  46. Someone told DOIT to yank it and I can imagine there was a level of urgency involved, like in a running to the washroom kind of way.

    Comment by Sonny Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 6:03 pm

  47. Lincoln,of course, used Four score for his internet password.

    Comment by Baron von Hammer Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 6:28 pm

  48. Once again, Rauner remains a complete and utter disappointment. And lately also an embarrassment.

    Please just go away. Go home and count your money.

    Comment by DuPage Dave Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 6:45 pm

  49. Have fun data nerds.

    Comment by Anon Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 7:38 pm

  50. Why the todo over ISBE scoring. Noone gives a darn about CBO scoring on ACA in regards to the Cadillax tax.

    Comment by Blue dog dem Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 8:02 pm

  51. Override his veto and call it a day

    Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 8:18 pm

  52. Fun with numbers:

    Rauner just vetoed a school funding reform bill to give his rich Winnekta buddies a 36% taxpayer bailout.

    or since this was the “Chicago Bailout”
    we can now call it the “Breese Bailout”

    Comment by Person 8 Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 11:01 pm

  53. The userid is “WreckItRauner666″ and the password is “BecauseMadigan999″

    Comment by Me Again Tuesday, Aug 1, 17 @ 11:16 pm

  54. The site now says: “These numbers are currently being updated to reflect the amendatory veto issued by the governor on Tuesday, August 1st.”
