* Gov. Pritzker posted several signs around his ceremonial office for his post-session press conference. I call dibs on this one…
We legalized adult-use cannabis, creating the most equity-centric system in this nation which will right historic wrongs and reinvest in the communities that have suffered the most because of the War on Drugs. pic.twitter.com/4grMqIzG5E

* But, Illinoisians? No thanks…
We gave 1.4 million people a raise by putting all our minimum wage workers on a path to a $15 an hour living wage. pic.twitter.com/V9vT1QtGLb

Illinoisians? Oof.
Midnight printing by an over-worked staffer.
It could have been worse. It could have been an under cover Cheesehead operative, infiltrating below the Cheddar curtain to spread propaganda calling us “Illannoyances.”

Good luck to all those who don’t have a high school diploma and work experience on that $15 an hour thing.

Also, I like the scales of Justice in the cannabis sign. Very cool double entendre.
Mom: What’s this I found in your room?
Me: A scale.
Mom: What’s that for?
Me: Measuring, um, justice?
Mom: Really? How much is a gram of “justice” going for these days?

Illinoisian had to be written by someone who puts catsup on a hot dog.

The troll game is getting weak around here. I suppose the best trolls are off preparing for the Eastern Bloc’s Secession Convention.

Ketchup.

Should have hired a Superstar to make the signs.

Nothing will ever top the end-of-session presser where Rauner got the deer-in-the-headlights look when he realized he didn’t know how the amendatory veto worked.

Ugh. Not the worst, but think how many saw that, and it still got thru.
As for me, I have my eye on another sign…

Steve, you are such a little ray of sunshine.

Ranks right up there with wearing a tan suit as a major failure of governing.

What is someone from Oswego?
Oswegan?
Oswegoan?
Oswegian?
Oswegish?
Comment by Fax Machine Monday, Jun 3, 19 @ 12:39 pm
I prefer
Os-we-gan
Seen it that way most, especially in reference to Oswego NY
Oswegoan is a bit much…

How does one misspell Illinoisans…and work for the Governor of Illinois?

It’s the Block I Illini!

An Illinoisian is an Illinoisan who spends significant time in Louisiana. Not to be confused with those who frequent Hawaii — the Illinoiians.

“We gave”…..no you have it wrong. You are forcing over 225,000 small businesses to pay for your promise on the minimum wage hike. Try to go easier with other people’s money. Please.

worked on an out of state campaign where our Illinois group was dubbed too tough and we were called the Illannoyances.

Surely the state will have no problem raising the rates they pay for Medicaid services at nursing homes, social services, and health care programs where many salaries are in the $11-$12 range. An Illinois Partners survey estimated the adjustment needed at about $4B. Shouldn’t be a problem.

No dog in the hunt: “We shall put ketchup on hotdogs, and on fries; we shall put ketchup on these things on the beaches, and in the streets, we shall never surrender…”
But even I know I’m an Illinoisan
