Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

* Keep in mind what I’ve already told you about the number of graduations on the 31st…

It’s not totally out of the question.

* The Question: What would be your reaction if the budget was completed a day early?

1. Huh, guess Rauner really is a unifying force.

   Comment by Cubs in '16 Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:24 pm

2. Someone pulling a “fast one”.

   Comment by DuPage Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:26 pm

3. Rauner finally learned how to swing a hammer?

   Comment by Precinct Captain Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:26 pm

4. If it passed a day early with overwhelming veto-proof majorities…

   … my reaction would be… “Your move, governor”… as Rauner became too much for all of state government to bare anymore.

5. Confused. Disoriented. I would look at a map and verify which state I am in.

6. It would be an “Inception” like moment where I would have to check my “totem” to see if I was dreaming or it was real.

   Comment by JS Mill Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:37 pm

7. Rauner finally doing his job?

   I won’t believe it until I see it.

   Comment by Mr. K. Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:38 pm

8. I’d wake up.

   Comment by Chicago Cynic Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:38 pm

9. Sounds good. But not going to get my hopes too high. I am still living by the philosophy, “he who expects nothing, shall not be disappointed.”

10. I predict the Governor will say there is a poison pill in there somewhere.

    Comment by Casual observer Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:43 pm

11. I wouldn’t say anything. I’d just fly away on my unicorn.

    Comment by Trapped in the ‘burbs Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:44 pm

12. That Rauner’s political needs overrode his incompetence at governance.

    Comment by Anonish Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:45 pm

13. The governor is beginning to understand the political risks of appearing to fail.

14. Sure it will. Then I’ll go apple picking with Scooby-Doo right after.

    Comment by Pieroge tirebiter Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:49 pm

15. 1 day early makes up for 735 days late in my book

    Comment by Grand Avenue Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:50 pm

16. Pinch me?

    Comment by Dome Gnome Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:50 pm

17. The Matrix has us.

    Comment by Nick Name Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 3:02 pm

18. Won’t believe until I actually see it and will keep my reservation for Thursday night

    Comment by Etown Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 3:05 pm

19. It means I woke up in 1986.

    Comment by VanillaMan Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 3:50 pm

20. Astonishment

    Comment by Boone's is Back Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 4:22 pm

21. I think it is more likely that LeBron James will miss the Finals but Cleveland sweeps them anyway.

    Comment by I Miss Bentohs Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 4:24 pm

22. Rauner has to have a budget no way around it. The Dems are negotiating against themselves if they give anything. Rauner has told both caucuses no money for the campaigns without a budget. Dems could roll the GOP right now and Bruce would sign.

    Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 4:39 pm

23. But, but, what about the end of session party?

    Comment by Langhorne Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 4:44 pm

24. Is Tina a Druid?

    They are the ones who knocked on oak trees in Europe to bring out the spirits.

25. Anything can happen in an election year.

    Comment by Hexagon Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 5:09 pm

26. Common sense tells me that Walker is right. If there is another budget fight that carries on through the Summer I don’t know how that helps Rauner in November. OTOH this isn’t an administration that that has exhibited a lot of common sense the last 3 years. When wearing my tin foil hat I suspect that Rauner might want to do as much damage as he possibly can before leaving office in January.
