Bruce Rauner Exposed for Repeatedly Threatening Government Shutdown- Billionaire GOP candidate seems unconcerned with disruption of essential public services and indicates he’s willing to eliminate over 77,000 middle class jobs


Chicago, IL –(ENEWSPF)—August 6, 2014. Yesterday news outlets, including CNN and the International Business Times, reported on GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner’s speech in which he threatened to shut down the government and fire workers in mass if he doesn’t get pay cuts he demands. Rauner seems unconcerned about negative consequences of mass firings on the delivery of essential public services and suggests he is willing to wipe out over 77,000 middle class jobs of police officers, child protection workers, prison employees, nurses, and other state workers. The comments, made in March of last year, were unveiled in a new video posted by the Illinois Federation of Teachers.
