* Keep in mind what I’ve already told you about the number of graduations on the 31st…
Please knock on wood but Illinois Senate is planning to do all third reading bills tonight so they’re prepared to handle budget tomorrow. #twill 🤞🤞🤞

It’s not totally out of the question.
* The Question: What would be your reaction if the budget was completed a day early?

Huh, guess Rauner really is a unifying force.

Someone pulling a “fast one”.

Rauner finally learned how to swing a hammer?

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.

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

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.

Rauner finally doing his job?
I won’t believe it until I see it.

I’d wake up.

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.”

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

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

That Rauner’s political needs overrode his incompetence at governance.
Comment by Anonish Tuesday, May 29, 18 @ 2:45 pm
The governor is beginning to understand the political risks of appearing to fail.

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

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

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

It means I woke up in 1986.

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

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.

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

Anything can happen in an election year.

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.
