into his campaign ads. He's been on tv and radio almost non-stop for a year now.
You know how it goes..."There's that Rauner fella I saw on the teevee. He seems nice..."
I work with a lot of inactive voters and several are now motivated to vote based on my Rauner education campaign.
Hopefully we'll see more people awakening to the reality that his catchphrase "I'm gonna shake up Springfield" is not necessarily a good thing for the average voter.
Charter schools, tax cuts for the wealthy, regressive service taxes, libertarian dogma, would proudly support a IL State Gov't shutdown, eliminate the minimum wage (he's walking that one back right now)
Another of this billionaire's gimmicks is to show off his $17 plastic Timex watch in a cynical "see I'm just like you little people" attempt to relate to the low information voters.
This audio nugget is where he advocates abolishing the minimum wage. He later softened his position saying he'd support reducing the Illinois minimum of $8.25 down to the federal minimum of $7.25. He now says he would do neither.
